✨ End of Year Mass ✨ On Friday, we came together ✨ End of Year Mass ✨

On Friday, we came together at Immaculate Conception Church to celebrate our End of Year Mass with Fr Shymon. It was a beautiful way to conclude the year as a community, with our Prep students sharing the Nativity story and bringing the true spirit of Christmas to life for us all.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this celebration so special. It was a meaningful and joyful way to end our year together.
