In February 7th (this past Saturday), our son EJ, attended the Experience Day in preparation for their first Reconciliation. The activity aimed to prepare the kids before they go on their very first confession. It aimed to give the kids a full understanding through experiencing what's the importance of asking forgiveness to sins.
They did different kinds of activities including making bread, reading of the Bible, and they did religious arts and crafts,There were Mom volunteers who helped facilitate the event. They also served snacks for the kids.
This year's first communicants is a small number compared to the previous years.
It is sad to think that there are so many kids these days but only few are active or involve with religious-related activities like this.
I admire the second grade teacher for her dedication in molding and teaching the kids about this important milestone of their lives.
I love the poster that the kids made. They each made a paper candle and put it in a big poster.
"Jesus is the Light of the World".
