At the end of her visit to the SKKs on November 26, the five SKK clusters organized a culminating activity. The highlight of which was a Mass celebrated by Rev. Frs. Domingo Florida, Elmer Pandes and Anthony Sargento. Each cluster chose to give attention to different sectors, as: Cluster 1 to Senior Citizens, Cluster 2 to the youth, Clusters 3 & 4 to children and Cluster 5 to families.

The events, spearheaded by ICP-SKK in partnership with the Parish Youth Ministry, centered on spiritual formation, indoor and outdoor activities, and fellowship. The festive nature of the culminating activities heralded the anticipated feast of the parish’s Patroness.
