MCA is a formation group comprising of children below the age of fourteen (14) years. It is a Catholic Association specifically for children.
We have animators (teachers) working with and for our children in the parish.
The children are taught to pray the Mission Rosary for the children of the whole world, to share with children who do not have through the Mission Bank and are given the Activity Calendar which contains various activities that guide them each day.
Motto: Children Helping Children
Slogan: With Children All Over The World, We Are Always Friends!
Aims and Objectives
- To awaken in every catholic child a strong sense of commitment to Jesus Christ and a zeal for the spread of the Good News everywhere by: Deepening one’s faith Living it faithfully And sharing it joyfully
- To prepare the catholic children to be joyful in their faith and share it with their other brothers and sisters at school, at play or any point in their lives.
- To encourage children to pray, to be loyal to their elders, and to bring together all children in a worldwide fraternity.
- To spread the Good News of Jesus far into the remotest corners of the world by drawing their attention to the spiritual as well as the material needs of the children throughout the world. To help their children with their prayers, sacrifices and offerings.
- To care about children of other ethnic groups and other races and religions, to pray to our common Father for His children and to share generously.
- To inculcate the spirit of giving and charity into the hearts of the children by sharing what they have with other children who have nothing through the Mission Bank.
