It was an amazing sight during the 11:30 Mass yesterday, 12 October when the young faces filled the first pews of the church. More so when they stood up to help in the Tithing Collection and presented the gifts to the Altar. After Mass, they also helped distribute the Parish Bulletin as people leave the church.
Thanks to the Family Volunteers who donated and prepared the light lunch for the kids. It is a real treat to them.
Our session went smooth as we discussed the Sacrament of Baptism. The kids were so engaged in the discussion. The topic interested them as they discover new realities about the sacrament of Baptism. Part of the discussion was the symbols used in the celebration of the Sacrament of Baptism like the Blessed Oils. For many, it was a discovery for them that there are three different kinds of Oils that are stored in the Ambry of the Church. Two of which are used for baptism. They even were curios that they asked a sample of it and tried figure out the difference between the Oil of Catechumen and the Sacred Chrism by the smell of it.
They also wonder whether their parents still have their Baptismal Candles and White Garments. They will ask, they said.
We further discussed about the effects of Baptism in the life of a Christian.
Quite noticeable too is the diligence of the kids in doing their Christian Service Projects. Many of them have already made so much progress within the month’s time.
We ended the session exactly 2:30.
