This photograph was taken in Salisbury, Wiltshire. I was only 7 yrs old at the time. Father Barry used to pick me up for Catechism Classes.
Catechism classes are Catholic religious education courses that teach Christian doctrine and prepare students for Christian life. The classes typically include questions and answers about God, prayer, salvation, the law, the sacraments, and sin.
Catechism classes are often required for children, starting around first grade and ending around eighth grade. However, the exact age varies by diocese. The Catholic Church recommends that children take at least one year of catechism before preparing for the sacraments of Reconciliation and First Eucharist.
Adults may also take catechism classes, often called RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults), before joining the Church. Some adults take catechism classes to study the faith they believe in or to refresh their knowledge.


I love this photograph.
Me with my youngest sister Charmaine’s daughter (my niece). All of the old and happy memories, with my own daughters, came flooding back.

Nurturing a child involves a combination of love, support, guidance, and creating an environment that fosters their emotional, intellectual, and physical development.
Nurturing a child is a continuous process that requires patience, love, and adaptability. Every child is unique, so itβs important to tailor your nurturing approach to their individual needs and personality.
