The San Pedro Roman Catholic Church hosted a bible study camp from Monday, August 17th to Friday, August 21st under the theme “Champions for Christ,” for children ages 6-12. The Bible camp was organized by the local parishioners and the Sisters of the Society of Our Lady of the Most Holy Trinity from New Mexico, United States of America and ran from 9AM to noon. The event was designed to teach the participants about Christ and make the children be Champions of Christ in a camp of faith.SPRCC Bible School-1
According to Sister Mary Peter the turnout was excellent and the camp was full with fun activities. “Each day we had singing, dancing, arts and crafts, and games. We also had a faith stations where they learn biblical things. Each day we had about 65 children along with teens who helped us with the group of younger children as they moved through the different activity stations,” stated Peter.SPRCC Bible School-7
On the last day of the camp, there was a closing mass held where the parents of the children were invited to attend. The children were separated into groups according to their age and each was given a Patron Saint. Each group then offered a presentation noting what they had learned during the week. After the presentations, volunteers, Sisters, parents and children enjoyed a hearty lunch ending the bible camp.
