Ponad 100 dzieci przystąpiło do Pierwszej Komunii jednocześnie! Niezwykła uroczystość w Wenezueli
More than 100 children received their First Communion during a ceremony held on September 26 in the Chacao municipality of Caracas, Venezuela. Gustavo Duque, the mayor of Chacao, and his wife, Vanessa Bachrich de Duque, organized the event at St. John Bosco Church in the Altamira district.
The ceremony was part of the My First Communion in Chacao program, which has operated since 2015 to allow students from low-income families in municipal schools to receive the sacrament. During the Mass, Mayor Duque spoke to the children about the importance of religious and moral formation, encouraging them to thank their families for bringing them to the Church.
Chacao is the smallest municipality in Caracas and was among the areas most affected by an earthquake on June 24. The mayor stated that the program aims to support child development by fostering values such as faith, family, and solidarity.
