In preparation for the 1st Holy Communion of the Grade 3 MHCians and a few from Grades 4-6, a recollection and orientation meeting was held for their parents on Saturday, February 25, 2023 at the MHCS Gym.
The day began with an opening prayer led by Mrs. Nina Marie Pojas. It was followed by a short talk given by Sr. Pinky Garza, FMA, MHCS Principal, which centered on the importance of the spiritual milestone that the 1st Communion is and the role of the parents to continue to nurture the faith life of their children. She also talked about the guidelines to follow for the safe and ordely conduct of the1st Communion on March 4 at San Raphael Arkanghel Parish.
Sr. Pinky’s talk was followed by the recollection proper which was facilitated by Rev. Fr. Abel de Ocampo, SDB who came all the way from Don Bosco Batulao. He beautifully and profoundly led the parents in deepening their understanding of their indispensable role in the spiritual formation of their children. A Mass celebrated by Fr. Abel completed the grace-filled event.
Thank you to Sr. Shane Orpilla, FMA (Grade 3 CLE Teacher) for coordinating the activity.
