Mass of Remembrance
In November, we came together for our annual Mass of Remembrance, a heartfelt tradition to honor the beloved members of our Ryan community who have passed. It was a beautiful service filled with reflection, love, and gratitude.
Thank you to everyone who attended and to those who helped make this Mass possible. Your presence and support brought warmth to a meaningful evening.
