Marking the End of 2023

To farewell the Year 2023, Fr. Michael Weera Phangrak gave a remark at the opening of the internal party with thanks to all who have worked together to care for children in the past 12 months. Grilled foods and beverages, along with movies from outdoor cinema, were well enjoyed by kids from preschool age and older. Several staff members were not around due to being on duty in the nursery or having their annual leaves. The evening ended around 9 p.m. for little kids and some staffers while those older ones stayed up to greet the New Year with Fr. Francis Xavier Kritsada Sukkaphat.. Thanks to all concerned for making the evening enjoyable.. Best wishes to all for the New Year 2024..
