However, our efforts were soon met with an unexpected obstacle as a scheduling conflict necessitated
the use of the conference room for a doctor's meeting, halting our progress temporarily. Despite this
setback, we remained undeterred, seizing the opportunity to assist in other tasks within the department
and offer support where needed. This unexpected turn of events served as a valuable lesson in

mass held outside, offering a welcome change of scenery and a moment of peace amidst the hustle and
