From December 27 to 29, 2024, the Parish of St. Apostles Matthew and Matthias in Birchwood was very joyful and festive. Nearly a hundred children and twenty-four caregivers in beautiful costumes, with stars in their hands, went on a caroling trail. Our little missionaries sang carols and presented a short scene about the situation of children in the Democratic Republic of Congo. At the end, in each house where they caroled they left a souvenir – a nut. Where they were not allowed to enter they said a prayer for the residents. With carols on their lips and sweets, they visited the residents of the DPS in Raciborz and the Children’s Homes in Pogrzebienie and Krzanowice.
The summary of the “mission” took place on the Feast of the Epiphany. During the solemn Eucharist, the Missionary Carolers prayed for the DRC, the PDMD and the missionaries, and made a monetary donation, which they collected during the caroling. They also thanked the Newborn that they were given the opportunity to safely proclaim the glad tidings of His coming to earth.
