THE CALENDAR HIGHLIGHTS CULTURAL CELEBRATIONS AND CONTAINS BIOGRAPHIES OF SAINT LUCIA'S CULTURAL ICONS.

The Monsignor Patrick Anthony Folk Research Centre (FRC) will launch its 2023 Kwéyòl Cultural Calendar next week.

The FRC’s 2023 Kwéyòl Cultural Calendar contains biographies in Kwéyòl and English of Saint Lucian cultural icons, the days of the week, and the months of the year. The 2023 Kwéyòl Cultural Calendar also highlights cultural celebrations and the birthdays of some of Saint Lucia’s cultural pioneers. It is a rich cultural resource that has been produced for the benefit of Saint Lucians whose Kwéyòl heritage must continue to be honoured, shared, taught and preserved.

As the FRC marks the 50th year since its movement for cultural development began, it remains committed, “to be in the vanguard of promoting the role of culture at the centre of national development and to safeguard Saint Lucia’s intangible cultural heritage”.

The official press launch of the 2023 Kwéyòl Cultural Calendar will be held at the FRC conference room on Tuesday, Jan 24, 2023 at 10 a.m.
