Passing on our faith to the next generation needs commitment and perseverance. Children deserve to receive the fundamentals and the basics of their faith, especially through their parents.

The facilitators of the Children’s Liturgy of Holy Trinity Parish organized a one-day Rosary Workshop on September 16 for children aged 10 years and above. It was attended by some 30 students, English Sunday School teachers and parents. The workshop was from 9.00 am to 4.00 pm.

The workshop aimed to help students in deepening their faith in Mother Mary through the knowledge of the Holy Rosary. Topics covered during the workshop were :

1. What is the Rosary?
2. How the Rosary began?
3. Apparitions of Mother Mary
4. The promises given to St Dominic for those who recite the Rosary
5. Blessings and benefits of saying the Rosary.
6. The different mysteries that tell the life of Jesus.
7. How to answer questions on Mary and the Rosary

The session concluded with students making their own Rosary, assisted by facilitators, teachers and parents. The activity promoted creativity and the interaction helped develop a closer bond.

The children left the workshop with their handmade rosaries which they were proud of. The organizers hope that through the workshop, students will be encouraged to recite the Holy Rosary and say it with more conviction and pride.
