Thank you for telling me. It is interesting that there were three bishops and vicar Daniel on the presidium. What exactly did the boards report on - about youth, education or something else?

Cristina López

It is interesting that there were three bishops and vicar Daniil on the presidium. But what did the collegium report on—about youth, about education, or about something else? I would like to know more about what they are doing now.

Nicolás García

Interesting what you say, Cristina. In the article they only mention that they heard the reports from the interparish schoolgirls, but they do not detail whether it was about youth, catechesis or education. Have you participated in any of those meetings? I would like to know how they handle Sunday schools in small parishes.

It is interesting that there are three bishops and vicar Daniel on the presidium. But what exactly did the boards report on - about youth work or more about education and catechesis? In our junior group we often say that such meetings could show results, so that it would be clear how to help locally.

Ioana Stan

Yes, it also caught my eye that there were three bishops plus Father Daniil in the presidium. The article does not say anything concrete about what the colleges reported - whether it was about youth, Sunday schools or catechesis. Maybe next time they will publish a short summary, so that we too know what is being done in the diocese.

Carmen Martínez

Yes, Cristina, three bishops and the vicar Daniil in the presidium attracts attention, it is clear that they wanted everything to be well tied up. I would also like to know if the schoolgirls talked about youth or catechesis; Last year the education department organized sewing workshops for the mothers of the San Nicolás parish and they went very well. Do you still go to the 10 o'clock mass?

Ioana Popa

Yes, you are right, I also looked at the list twice and still counted three bishops plus Father Daniil. It's a shame they didn't say anything about the college reports, especially since we just started a youth group in our parish and I'd be interested in what they say about it. Maybe at the next meeting they will also put a summary on the website.

It is interesting that you mention the youth group - we often have young people come to our hospital for pre-wedding catechesis, and that is where you can see that the educational colleges have done more work than the youth reports. Perhaps at the next meeting they will also ask for specific figures for those baptized or enrolled in Sunday schools, so as to know where to help. And you in your group, what exactly would you like to see as a result?

Тодор Кирилов

I agree with you Bogdana, specific figures for baptized and enrolled in Sunday schools would show the real picture instead of just reports. Here in Sofia, at the fishermen's gatherings, I often hear from young fathers that after the wedding catechesis, they also start taking their children to church. And you at the hospital, have you seen some of these young people come back after a year or two with a baby for baptism?

Мариана Иванова

Interesting, Bogdana, that it was in the hospital that you saw the result of the catechesis before the wedding. Here in Ruse, we enrolled 12 new children in the Sunday school this year, most of them brought by young parents after such talks. And what do you think would help the most - more meetings with young people or better materials for them?

Кирил Митев

Interesting, Bogdana, is it in the hospital that you see how catechesis before a wedding bears fruit. When we go fishing in Plovdiv, I often talk to an electrician who, after such a conversation, named his second child. In my opinion, the most useful thing would be to keep track of not only the number of baptized people, but also how many of them stay in Sunday school. And what exactly are the difficulties you encounter with young people in the hospital?
