First holy communion camp at The Farm

KUALA LUMPUR (Herald Malaysia): The First Holy Communion candidates of the Church of The Sacred Heart of Jesus attend a one-day camp at the Farm in Lenggeng on October 14. This is part of the preparation for the 38 candidates who will be receiving the sacrament of First Holy Communion on November 4. The theme for this year was JESUS, MY FRIEND.

The children were accompanied by their parents and teachers. Amongst the activities was a video presentation focussing on Mass, Communion and Confession, classroom quiz on the Act of Contrition, crossword puzzle based on Bible terms, a craft and art session where the children wrote messages to Jesus as their friend. The camp concluded with an out-door activity where the participants were briefed on nature and its connection to God, its creator.

Fr Edwin joined the camp as an observer. The sessions ended around 2.30pm with a group photograph.

The finale was a visit to the Rabbit Farm next door. The children were extremely excited as they had the chance to see and touch animals such as rabbits, ostriches, camels, goats, a deer and cows.

It was a fun-filled and meaningful camp for the children.
