Merchant Navy Day
Ian Pole, Lay Chaplain at the Port Pirie Mission to Seafarers, organized a Merchant Navy Day Celebration and was held at the Merchant Navy Memorial outside the City Council Offices in Port Pirie on Friday morning, 3rd September 2010.
The service was led by Bishop Garry Weatherill.
It commemorated and gave thanks for all who have served on the sea, both merchant and naval seafarers in times of peace and war in the past and in the present.
Because of the weather conditions, the service was held at the council chambers.
Laying of the Wreaths was done outside at the memorial.
