Dimapur, Jan. 16: A three-day long faith camp for Catholic children of St. Peter’s Church, Kiphire, was held from January 13-15 on the twin themes “Know God, know life” and “Deepen your faith.”
The camp began with an exhortation by Rev. Fr. Ntonse John Lotha, parish priest, in which more than 85 children participated in the faith camp. The camp was conducted by Rev. Fr. Loyola Antonym Brother Stephen, Sr. Cicilia and Sr. Angelle.
The different groups were made to explain on the topics. Appropriate video shows on the lessons and the subsequent activity on the subject matter were also screened. The activities included fill in the blanks, word search, jumble of words, colouring the graphics, and question-answer pattern. The activities made the programme more interesting and enriching.Students from Classes III-VII dealt on ‘We share God’s love for creation,’ ‘Ways to say thank you,’ ‘Jesus and Mary,’ ‘Our loving God,’ ‘Jesus forgives,’ ‘We pray as Jesus did,’ and ‘The works of mercy.’ The topics for Classes VIII -XII included ‘The sacraments of baptism, holy eucharist and confirmation,’ ‘The sacraments of reconciliation, holy matrimony, holy orders and anointing of the sick,’ ‘The liturgy of the word,’ ‘The liturgy of the eucharist,’ and ‘The Creed.’
Other highlights of the camp included presentation of songs, party games, skits and role plays.
