DAKOR, MAY 29, 2008
: The “Shradha Ghadtar Shibirs” (Faith Formation Camps) were held in the seven villages of Christ the King Parish, Don Bosco, Dakor from May 8 to 28, 2008. These camps were a continuation of the ‘Year of Sacraments’ celebrated in the parish. While Fr. Alex Fernandes, Parish Priest, was the mastermind behind this initiative, the programme was managed by Deacon Mayank Parmar and Pre Novice Sandeep Parmar. Each camp was of three days duration, at the end of which a test was conducted for the participants and attractive prizes given to all those who proved successful in the same. A total of 85 children from Stds. I to XII attended these camps in the various villages. A variety of creative activities such as “Kirtan Sagar Antakshari” and “door to door rosary” kept the children keenly engrossed in the programme. These camps served as a good preparation for the regular catechism classes which will be held through the year in the villages. The vibrant faith being built up in the children promises to make Dakor a model parish soon!
