Jesus and his
love for children. Catholic Parish of the Nativity of Jesus, Magadan, Father

Children of Magadan
We
want our children to know Christ. We are now sponsoring a Kids Club
every Saturday for the local children who live in a place we
call the 'yama'.
This in Russian means 'hole'. It is truly a hole that unfortunately many children
fall victim. The area is just a little ways from the church and it is where the
poorer families live. Often children battle poor living conditions as well as
parents who struggle with alcoholism. So the sisters and Fr. Michael decided
they would begin a day camp on Saturday where the children could come
to the church, eat a nice lunch and just hang out and play. Little by little we will introduce good value teaching i.e.
why we need to be honest, what it means to be a good friend and other life
issues they are not being taught. We call
this our life camp for kids.
How to get
along with each other and respect each other is the goal of the first part of
the day camp.
The second goal
is to slowly introduce them to Jesus and his love for children.
