Tables were arranged to accommodate different age groups - adults, youth, and children aged 9 to 13 – all united by a desire for enjoyment and quality time together.

Laughter and conversation filled the air as prizes were awarded to the winners of the Tombola and Lottery.These moments of leisure not only provided entertainment but also strengthened bonds and fostered relationships within the community.
An initiative Supporting the Parish
Beyond its social benefits, the event served a important charitable purpose: proceeds were donated to the Santa Maria Rossa parish. This religious community manages two churches – the modern Ildefonso Schuster, inaugurated in 1995, and the historic santa Maria Nascente chapel, founded in the early 1900s.Both structures require ongoing funding to maintain their facilities and provide essential services to parishioners.
