Five of the seminarians who are doing their weekend pastoral organised this simple camp in line with the Marian Devotion. The sessions were basically to help the children understand the role of Mother Mary in the Church and in their personal lives. They also explained of the dogma on the Immaculate Conception, Mother Mary as a Mediatrix and the importance of reciting the Rosary.
Bro Richerd, Bro. Ashok and Fr Hentry Bright were the main speakers for the camp. I concluded it with the Eucharistic celebration in our Chapel at 12.30 pm. The children were very enthusiastic and participated fully in the camp.
I felt such joy meeting the children as I missed such interactions. When I was at Visitation parish I used to visit all the Catechism classes on most of the Sundays.
For me faith and moral education are very important for our children and parents have to encourage them to attend. Catechism is the heart beat of every parish. Mother Mary is always praying and caring for our children to grow in wisdom and knowledge of God.

Greetings Fr,
Everytime I read your entries, more and more, I see the tremendous benefits that you are experiencing during this "returning back to college"...it is sometimes sad that dioceseian priests have to concerate more on the day to day running of the office plus looking into rebuilding present churches or even establishing new churches than actually sharing and spreading the the faith.
God Bless You Fr, for the strenght to continue this journey.
