Ms. Burrito attended a religious retreat at their school and at the church last Saturday. This retreat was conducted to prepare the kids to their first reconciliation/confession. Prior to the retreat, they also attended extensive sessions regarding their upcoming confession. The catechist explained thoroughly to them what to do, what to expect, and what good confession will do to their spiritual/religious lives.
I miss attending retreats and recollections. I used to do that when I was in college and when I was working at a Catholic school back in my country.
if it had been held later, they might have talked about the Pope's EXIT

Wow as young as they are, they are already experiencing a retreat. I hope these kids will grow up religious and God fearing.
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to see younger kids learning about forgiveness and reconciliation.
ReplyDeleteI love that there are retreats for Children too. What a great beginning in their Christian journey.
ReplyDeletei'm sure that your kids will grow up to become a religious and devotee individuals :D
ReplyDeleteThat's nice sis kasi as young as she is, she is already exposed to gathering that will strengthen her faith! :) Reminds me of my highschool and college years. Those were the times when I got to experience retreats.
ReplyDeleteWow, that was an awesome thing to do. retreats and such. I did a "Curcillo" way back then and I cried so hard coz I realized I was a sinner :) Can't wait to see pictures from the First communion.
ReplyDeleteReligious retreat is good for the kids and also for the parents as well. Your kids are really awesome madam.
ReplyDeleteIt's nice for kids to attend retreats. It sometimes open their emotions and eyes and strengthen her faith.
ReplyDeletelast time to attend retreat was in my high schooldays.
ReplyDeletekids today have so much to learn. they should also all go to an animal shelter and see the poor dogs that are going to be put to sleep because of over-breeding. then maybe they will never put a dog through that when they grow up

I could recall my retreat for my confession when i was on my third grade... i think it was fun to know all about the importance of confession
ReplyDeleteI miss retreat. I grow up in a Catholic and studied in Catholic school as well.
ReplyDeleteThe last time I attended a retreat was around 3 years ago, I feel renewed each time.

P.S. You might want to follow me back in GFC thanks :)
It is always good to teach our children aright and lead them to follow after God's heart while in their youth. :)
ReplyDeleteExposing your child to this type of religious activities will foster a well-rooted Faith. Sa amin , we call it camp.
ReplyDeleteI've joined a lot of religious retreats in our church lately. And it's really refreshing and it strengthens one's faith. I'm pretty sure Miss Burrito had fun! :)
ReplyDeleteI miss kids' activities in church! Pati na yung sa mga youths.. This reminds me of how much fun I had participating in all church activities, learning the Bible, growing up as a Christian, and building my personal relationship with God. I have been doing things like this for as long as I can remember.. Kaya nakaka-miss na kase it's a big part of who I've become now..
ReplyDeleteMaganda talaga na habang bata pa, mamulat na talaga sila sa pagkilala sa Diyos at sa pag-serve sa Kanya.. =)
Kids into religious retreat earlier in their lives often end up in the good side of life! ;-)
ReplyDeleteIt's nice that you get to capture one of your child's milestones in life.
