To celebrate Grandparents' Day, the Family Help Desk warmly invites all our grandparents to join us for a complimentary cup of tea or coffee in the Convent Hall after Masses: 08h00 and 10h00.

Together, we'll enjoy gentle music from their generation, share stories, reminisce about treasured memories, and celebrate the wisdom, love, and legacy they have passed on to us.

Too often, our elderly are forgotten or taken for granted. Yet we are who we are because they came before us. Their sacrifices, strength, faith, and unconditional love have helped shape our families and our community.

If you know a grandparent who could use a reminder of how deeply loved, valued, and appreciated they are, please bring them along. Let's honour them with our presence, our gratitude, and a joyful time of fellowship.

"Rise in the presence of the aged, show respect for the elderly and revere your God." – Leviticus 19:32
