The parish of St Benedict’s, La Romaine has attempted to address the feelings of “uncertainty” many are experiencing with the news of Petrotrin’s closure. The once state-owned oil company will officially cease operations on November 30 releasing approximately 3,500 permanent staff.
With this significant job loss, parish priest Msgr Christian Pereira came up with the idea to initiate dialogue on ‘Life before and after Petrotrin’ which took place last Sunday, September 30 at St Benedict’s Parish Hall.
