BIBLE CAMP

On the 8 - 9 May 2026, 10 children from grade 4 & grade 5 attended the Bible Camp at the Salesian Sisters - Retreat Centre in Benoni. Sr. Isabel Vieira and the Catechists of Our Lady of Fatima parish organized this Camp. It was a beautiful opportunity for fun, friendship and growing in faith through Bible activities, prayer and reflection.
The children enjoyed the Camp very much. We were grateful to Fr. Tony Nunes who came to celebrate the Holy Mass and gave the Reconciliation Sacrament to the children and the Catechists. Many thanks to the Salesian Sisters in Benoni for providing comfortable accommodation, to the parents and to those who contributed food for these days, especially thanks to Sr. Isabel and the Catechists. May God bless you all.
