Why

Join us to stand in solidarity with the people of Palestine and Lebanon at our upcoming candlelight vigil. Together, we will honour lives lost, raise awareness of ongoing suffering, and share a moment of reflection and hope.

Let’s come together as a community to remember, support, and send a message of peace.
