Over the past few days we have met several children around
St. Peter’s. Thank you to Craig Hamilton
from North Ayrshire Leisure for the donation of footballs. The altar boys meet every Saturday after 7 o’clock
morning Mass. They are led in
discussions and training by one of the older boys. After discussions, they normally play games e.g.
football. You can probably imagine how excited they
were to receive the gift of the brand new football.
We were unaware of the involvement of the girls within the
Parish. However, very soon it came to
our attention that the girls who participate in the choir were complaining to
Fr. Nkunika that the boys had received a gift (they were taunting the girls)
and they did not. Of course, in the name
of equality we quickly remedied this situation.
The girls also meet to practise singing etc. on a Saturday and play
netball. They were absolutely over the
moon to receive the football and immediately started to play netball.
Yesterday at Fr. Edmond’s Farewell Party some children came to join the celebrations. They all seem to have a natural sense of rhythm. They tried to teach us some dance moves however, I can you tell you they had fun laughing at our attempts.
