On Christmas Eve, Wednesday, December 24, 2025 members of St Francis Anglican church in White River gathered to sing and enjoy Christmas carols.

Jocelyn Manele, Chairlady of St Francis Parish in an interview with Island Sun, said this is the first time they have come together to do this.

She expressed that after church service, different groups such as; Diocese of Isabel, Diocese of Malaita, Diocese of Temotu, Anuta and Tikopia settlement, Men’s Fellowship group, St Francis Parish Choir went up and sang different Christmas songs.

Manele said such a program is important because it brings everyone together to share Christmas songs that are being sung in different languages by different groups.

“It also reminds us of celebrating the Christmas season back in our islands and we have the same feeling of Christmas back home,” she said.
