Children preparing to receive Jesus

On 4 November 2017, the Standard 3 students from the Church of St Joseph prepared themselves to receive Jesus by attending a two-day inhouse camp at the Formation Hall. This year’s theme was Christ Our Joy. A total of 27 children from the English and Tamil groups participated. The children were accompanied by their respective class teachers, Mdm. Assunta and Mdm. Gloria.

The programme started with a Bible enthronement by the children. Sr Mary David then introduced the children to the Eucharist by getting them to bake the host, which was made out of flour and water.

After lunch, there was an art and craft session where the children designed and crafted a host. They then participated in some outdoor games which connect to their daily lives and reflect how their lives continuously lead them to God.

During the camp, Sr Mary and the teachers facilitated a group-sharing activity, focusing on God’s love. Their experience of the Blessed Sacrament then continued with silent adoration conducted by Fr George Packiasamy.

The camp finale was a combined sharing session on Forgiveness & Reconciliation for both parents and children. The camp ended with a thanksgiving luncheon.
