The special focus on children’s birthdays forms an important activity of our Sunday congregation. Each child is informed prior to his/her birthday, and the parents are invited to bring the birthday cake with them to the church. After mass, all the parishioners go the church hall for coffee, and at that time we celebrate the birthday. The priest offers a present to the child, which is normally a religious book suitable for his/her age-group. Almost every Sunday there is more than one birthday in our parish. This activity has increased attendance by parishioners at the Sunday mass, and has also increased interest in the parish among the children.
