A Special Visit from Father Ben

Over the last two terms in Kinder we have been learning about the Church, what it means to be a part of God's family, Baptism, and the importance of prayer. We were lucky enough to have a visit from Father Ben, our Parish Priest. The Kinders asked Father Ben many questions such as:

"Did you always want to be Father Ben?"

"What is it like being Father Ben?"

"When you were little, did you want to be Father Ben?"

"How did you feel when you first became a priest?"

"Why do you want to be like Jesus?"

“Why do you pour water and put oil on people when they are baptised?”

Father Ben answered each question with kindness and shared stories about his life. It was a wonderful opportunity for the children to deepen their understanding and make meaningful connections to what we have been learning. Thank you Father Ben for taking the time to visit Kinder.
