MIAMI | This past weekend, Immaculata-La Salle’s ADMA Youth Club (Association of Devotees of Mary Help of Christians) joined Salesian Sister Myriam Meus in creating a fun morning for the religious education students of Notre Dame d’Haiti Mission in Miami.
Club members led a joyous morning of activities for the kids, “a time filled with laughter, music and faith-based activities,” Sister Myriam said.
During the Nov. 5, 2022 event, the ADMA Youth members gave the kids a taste of the four components of a Salesian Oratory: A home that welcomes; a school that edifies; a Church that evangelizes; and a playground filled with joy.
In the home, the kids enjoyed some tasty snacks while listening to music and playing a Thanksgiving bingo led by senior Ervenson Liberté.
In the school component, the religious education kids learned about the importance of giving thanks, especially to God. They read and acted out the Gospel of the 10 lepers.
In the Church, they had the chance to create a pinecone birdfeeder and discussed the bounty of God’s creation while once more giving thanks to God for all his blessings.
Finally, in the playground component, students played different board games such as Jenga, Sorry, and ping pong.
Joseph Delgado, a club member, said, “I had a great experience helping all the kids on Saturday and it made me realize how lucky I am to be able to help others.”
