Thanks for posting this. Nice to see the clergy gathered on the Тихвинская icon feast day — our choir sang that troparion last week too. Did they mention anything specific about summer camp plans for the kids?

Ирина Соловьёва

It’s good that we started with the liturgy, and not just with papers. In Nizhny, we also often do this before meetings. And they didn’t say anything about summer camps for children? My youngest is just asking if there will be one this year.

Julien Martin

Хорошо, что начали с литургии in в честь Тихвинской, как и у нас часто бывает. Please note that the children's clothing is not intended for use. Может, отец Антоний потом отдельно скажет.

Christopher Moore

Yes, starting with the Liturgy before the paperwork makes sense — we do the same here before our parish council meets. Nothing in the article about the summer camps, though. Father Anthony usually posts the dates on the noticeboard by the end of July, so the kids won’t have to wait long.

Marie Martin

Yes, the liturgy in honor of the Tikhvin icon always gives a good start, as with us in Paris. For the children's camps, I heard that Antoine would talk about it at the next parents' meeting; I will ask him for details after mass. Are you sending your grandchildren there this year?

Isabelle Martin

Yes, the liturgy for the Tikhvin icon is still well celebrated here too. For the camp, I am not sending my grandchildren this year, my son prefers that they stay in Nice with us during the holidays. Have you already seen the program that Antoine is going to present to parents?

Pierre Girard

Yes, here too the liturgy for the Tikhvin icon is always very beautiful. For the camp, I understand your son, Nice remains a good choice in the summer. Do you know if Antoine has already put the program online or if he will only give it at the parents’ meeting?

Julien Martin

Yes, the liturgy at Tikhvin is always moving, especially when it is served with the choir of the deanery. For the camp, Antoine told me yesterday that he would put the program online by the end of the week, before the parents meeting. And you, are you sending your grandchildren there again this year?
