Mrs. Claus Tea Room: A Cozy Retreat

Adding to the festive atmosphere, MBCA also hosted the enchanting Mrs. Claus Tea Room. Over 30 guests had the pleasure of enjoying a cozy, high-tea experience in a beautifully decorated room that radiated holiday warmth. Guests savored warm tea alongside a delightful two-tier tray brimming with sandwiches, cookies, and scones. A heartfelt thank you to the women of Regnum Christi for organizing, hosting, and providing the treats for the tea room. The tea room provided the perfect setting to relax, connect with friends, and soak in the holiday spirit.

A Celebration of Giving

We owe a tremendous debt of gratitude to our staff and volunteers, whose tireless efforts ensured the event ran smoothly. From setting up stalls to serving tea, their dedication and enthusiasm brought everything to life. A special thank you to the parents and community members who supported the event by attending, contributing, or helping behind the scenes. Your participation made all the difference and highlights the strength of our MBCA family.

The MBCA Christmas Market is more than just an event; it’s a celebration of community, creativity, and the joy of giving. Funds raised from the market and tea room will go toward supporting various school initiatives, ensuring that the spirit of this event continues to benefit our students and community.

As we reflect on this joyful occasion, we’re already looking forward to next year’s market and all the wonderful surprises it will bring.

On behalf of our students and staff, we wish you a blessed Christmas season!
