MATUNGA, AUGUST 25, 2010: On August 22 2010, hundred and ninety four children of Std. V & VI, from the Sunday school of seven different parishes met together at Don Bosco School, Matunga. They were accompanied by eighteen teachers.
The program began at 9.00 am and concluded at 12.30 pm. The theme of the program was “God’s Wonderful Creation”.
The celebration began with a meaningful Eucharist celebrated by Fr. Wilfred D’Souza, sdb, wherein he summarized on the inputs of the sessions and emphasized several points about God’s creation. The liturgy was well prepared by St. Dominic Savio’s (Wadala East) and the choir by St. Paul’s (Dadar).
The backdrop was very well designed by Our Lady of Dolours (Wadala West).
We then had a lively ice-breaker session “Bombing the Seasons” for all the children organized by Our Lady of Fatima (Sewri).
After a good break of yummy snacks, the children were then divided into fifteen groups according to the badges prepared by the Parishes. The badges represented different symbols of God’s various creations.
Christabelle Godinho of St. Dominic Savio, presented a very informative and interesting session on the importance of “Importance and Appreciation of God’s Creation” – Session I. Michelle D’Souza of Our Lady of Dolours, presented “My Faith Response to God’s Creation” – Session II. The children were very attentive and actively participated in responding to the questions asked. The power point presentations prepared by both the Catechist’s were very effective in making the children understand their responsibility as stewards of creation.
Lloyd Nunes was the compere for the programme.
Each of the parishes accepted different responsibilities assigned to them.
