Pope Francis Christmas Lunch
On Wednesday of this week we enjoyed a beautiful Christmas lunch with our parishioners- a joyful gathering that truly reflected the spirit of our faith community.
The students shared stories, created Christmas decorations, listened to the choir and enjoyed a lovely meal with our parishioners.
It was a special time to connect, give thanks, and to feel Christ's love present in the conversations, laughter and companionship in the room.
