💐✨ A beautiful celebration of faith, community, and womanhood! ✨💐

Yesterday, our parish joyfully celebrated Women’s Day together with our Parish Feast Day in the hall. It was a day filled with warmth, laughter, and togetherness. 💛

We shared a wonderful meal with lunch and dessert, and were treated to lovely individual performances by our talented children — each one bringing something special to the celebration. 🎶👏

Thank you to everyone who made the day so meaningful and memorable. Truly a celebration of our parish family! 🙏🕊️

10 years ago - 2016, the youth of the parish did the "Mannequin Challenge" at one of our parish events.
This was a very popular trend at the time.
And now, 10 years later, in 2026, during one of our Youth sessions.
The current Youth done the trend as well since " 2026 is the New 2016 "
