A Workshop for the catechism teachers and animators involved in the preparation of First Holy Communion Children was organised on 20th July 2024 at Nitika Don Bosco, Kolkata. The course was designed to help the participants to get to know the logistics of planning, preparation and content of the course. The workshop was divided into three parts. The first part covered the logistics as to how and when the planning and preparations should happen. The second part was focused on sacraments in general and later focussing on Eucharist and confession. The final part was on meaning and significance of prayer and teaching children to pray. Fr.
