Sr Anne Darwin FMA Parish Sister, Holy Trinity and St George Parish, Kendal I am a member of the Brettargh Holt Community and every day I go out to Kendal to work as a parish sister. Kendal is an old market town and our parish serves the people who live in several large housing estates within the town as well as those in scattered villages outside. As a Salesian Sister, the main focus of my work is related to children and their families. I co-ordinate several teams of catechists and together we prepare children for First Confession, Holy Communion and Confirmation. We also prepare parents for their children’s Baptism . This involves visits to their homes as well as group meetings in our Parish Centre. Another team of catechists help me to offer Children’s Liturgy as well as a crèche on Sundays. Each week I visit our parish primary school for their morning assembly. Every encounter with our young people and their educators is a privileged time and if I was to name one as a highlight, I would probably select my Thursday lunchtime visit to school, when a group of children join a Salesian Co-operator and myself to pray a decade of the rosary. Their faithfulness and devotion are indeed a source of strength and inspiration. |
