Kigali: Don Bosco Nursery and Primary School Celebrates Feast Day with Sacraments and School blessing

On February 10, 2024, Don Bosco Nursery and Primary School in Kimihurura held a celebration event to commemorate the Feast of Don Bosco. The event also included the Sacrament of Baptism and the first communion sacrament for the children studying at the school and marked the blessing of the  school buildings. The school is located in the Kimihurura sector of Kigali City.

The event began with a holy Mass celebration led by Father Provincial Pierre Celestin Ngoboka, who was recognized for his significant contributions to the school. Parents, youth, local government representatives, and teachers of Don Bosco Nursery and Primary School were in attendance.

The Mass started at Nine o’clock in the morning, followed by the administration of the sacraments at 11 o’clock. At around 11:30, there was a blessing ceremony for the school. Despite the rain, a party organized by the children took place in the well-built school veranda, providing warmth and shelter for children who were performing for their parents in the other side of the tent.

During the event, messages were shared, and appreciation was expressed for everyone’s role in improving children’s education while instilling Christian values. Following this, there was a sharing of food and drinks to celebrate Don Bosco’s continuous legacy in helping parents raise their children to become upright citizens who love God and their country.
