✨ A huge thank you to Telford Electric for their generous support, and to our anonymous donors whose kindness helped make this year’s decorations possible. Your contributions have brightened our community — in every sense of the word.

As the lights come on tonight, we hope they bring a little joy, a little wonder, and a whole lot of holiday cheer to everyone passing through our beautiful parish. ✨

Wishing all our Sandys families, friends, and visitors a warm and festive start to the season.

Here’s to community, togetherness, and the magic of Christmas in the West!
