Pontifical Missionary Children (PMC) is a global Catholic movement for children aged 0\u201314<\/strong>, formed under the patronage of the Roman Pontiff<\/strong>. It was founded in 1843<\/strong> by Bishop Charles de Forbin-Janson<\/strong> of France after he learned of the tragic killing of children in China, including baby girls and children with disabilities. PMC was established to gather children, nurture them in the Christian faith, and ensure they received education, protection, and dignity.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

At Holy Family Minor Basilica<\/strong>, PMC is a vibrant and flourishing group under the oversight of the Youth Board. The children grow through ongoing catechesis, prayer, recollection, and active liturgical involvement. They animate the Children\u2019s Mass<\/strong> on the first three Sundays and the main church<\/strong> on the last Sunday of every month through song, dance, and liturgical service. Their patron, St. Maria Goretti<\/strong>, inspires them with her purity of heart, courage, and steadfast faith.<\/p>

          To respond to the evolving needs of children and the school system, the PMC Role Models<\/strong> subgroup was launched by Archbishop Philip Anyolo. This group brings together Junior Secondary School<\/strong> children who continue to live the motto Children Helping Children<\/em> under the example of the three shepherd children of Fatima.<\/p>

          PMC Role Models take part in all PMC activities, with added focus on:
          \u2022 deeper catechesis
          \u2022 seminars and faith formation
          \u2022 life skills and character development
          \u2022 team building
          \u2022 sports and creative activities<\/p>

          Their activities are mainly parish-based, with deanery-level participation whenever possible. These children are recognized by their Christian character, striving to live virtues such as love, respect, honesty, responsibility, humility, patience, kindness, prayerfulness, peace-making, and service to others<\/strong>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
