Mass for Kids!
As the new School Year began in the first week of September here in Canada, St. Aloysius Parish at Kitchener, ON welcomed kids for first Children Mass of this year on Sunday, 25th September 2016. The Mass at 11am was celebrated by Fr. Jerome Mascarenhas, Pastor of the Parish with creative sermon on the Parable of the Rich man and Lazarus. The kids were taught in a simple way the message about sharing with one another what God has given in abundance. About 30-40 kids participated in this mass together with their parents and grandparents. The Church was full rising up to 250-300 people including our parishioners. The kids from St. Kateri School (one of the three schools belonging to St. Aloysius Parish) welcomed all the people at the entrance with resounding words “Good Morning and welcome to St. Aloysius Church”. They also assisted this Mass by proclaiming the Word of God and praying the general intercessions together with a few teachers. Immediately after the Mass, the kids and their parents had a time of fellowship in the Parish Hall. Every month kids from each school assist the Mass and others participate in it.
