PHNOM PENH (UCAN) -- The Church in Phnom Penh recently held a faith formation camp for children focusing on the life of Saint Paul the Apostle, during which participants also learned about communal living.

"Childhood is the time when one easily absorbs (lessons from) one's social environment," said Father Bruno Cosme, rector of the major seminary in Phnom Penh.

"If we do not pay enough attention to children, we miss a great opportunity to educate them on their faith and the right way to conduct their lives," said the Paris Foreign Missions priest, who was one of the organizers of the August 24-29 camp.
