I hope that Father Vasile Mihoc will talk a little about his research on the Gospel according to Saint John, that always interests me. Too bad it's only in 2026, but I'm already writing down the address in Saint-Hubert to go there with my family on Friday evening.

I am glad that Father Vasile Mihoc from Sibiu is also coming, I read his book about the Gospel according to John and the way he explains passages with light stuck in my head. I'm also writing down the address in Saint-Hubert, maybe we can get there on Friday evening with my folks.

I also hope that he will talk a little about Saint John, his lessons in Sibiu were always very concrete on the Prologue. On the other hand, for the date, several of us have noted July 3-5, 2026 in the parish calendar. Are you planning to come with the children Friday evening?

I'm also glad that Father Mihoc is coming, that book about John really makes you see the passages differently, especially with the light. We're close to Saint-Hubert, so we'll probably drive by on Friday night, maybe see the family there. Any idea what time exactly the dialog starts?
