St Rita's Men's Social Group May 2023
St Rita’s Men’s Social group travelled by car, bus and train to gather at the Brisbane City Hall on Thursday 25 May for a guided tour of the iconic Brisbane Town Hall – very interesting structure and history. Had a quick look at the museum – everyone has their own opinion.
Then we convened at the Marhaba Café in the basement of the City Hall building for a drink and bite. This café is run by The Good Food Project in conjunction with Australian Red Cross – the Good Food Project supports community members who experience social exclusion and homelessness.
