Family Sports Day Celebrating the 10th Anniversary of María Rosa Community Children's Center
The María Rosa Community Children's Center, an apostolic ministry of the Jingeon Community in Gyeonggi Province, South Korea, celebrated its 10th anniversary in 2026.
The center currently welcomes 33 children, aged 4 to 16, from diverse family backgrounds, including children with disabilities, immigrant and multicultural backgrounds, and large families. Together, they learn about different cultures, respect one another's differences, and develop their social skills.
To mark this special anniversary, the center organized various activities throughout the year, including a Family Sports Day for children and their parents.
On October 31, the last day of the month, everyone gathered at a gymnasium in Hopyeong-dong, Namyangju, for two hours of fun, laughter, and exciting games.
More than just a sports event, it was a precious opportunity to get to know one another, cooperate, build trust, and grow in unity. It was especially heartwarming to see parents returning to their childhood spirit and enjoying the games with even greater enthusiasm than their children.
Through this gathering, we experienced the beauty of coming together despite our differences, sharing the values of love, respect, and inclusion that María Rosa Center cherishes.
We kindly ask for your continued prayers so that every child may be respected and loved for who they are and grow happily in a safe and caring environment.
It was a beautiful day when everyone shone together in God's love and grace.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has accompanied and supported us throughout these ten years.
