Let the little children come to me…
The Sunday School at St. Aloysius Parish, Kitchener, ON, Canada, began on 18th September 2016. The Pastor of the Parish, Fr. Jerome Mascarenhas celebrated the Mass at 11 am and invoked the blessing of Almighty God on all the kids who came forward to attend the Sunday school program. It was attended by 30 kids, a great number to begin with. This is a program that runs over the whole year during 11am mass. The kids are accompanied by the volunteers to the parish hall immediately after a special prayer over kids following the Opening Prayer of the Mass. The readings are proclaimed to them from the Children’s Lectionary and the Word of God is explained through creative teaching and painting. As Jesus sowed the word of God, so do our willing teachers sow in a little way the Good News of Jesus Christ to our little kids. Let the seeds grow and bear fruit in abundance!
