Neither COVID-19, wearing of masks, nor the hot weather could keep families away from attending Ocean Reef Parish Christmas Eve 6 pm Family Mass.

While there were some challenges presented by newly installed air-conditioners caused by the extremely hot weather, the celebrations commenced with a well-rehearsed Nativity Play, enthusiastically presented by younger members of the Parish, with the inclusion of Christmas carols played throughout the narrative.

Assistant Parish Priest Fr Mariusz Adamczyk SDS processed in at the beginning of Mass with parishioner baby Violet in his arms, as a representation of the child Jesus.
