Καλά κάνουν που ξεκίνησαν νωρίς. Τα παιδιά από τα κατηχητικά του Γκαλάτσι θα περάσουν πέντε μέρες με τους καθηγητές του Σεμιναρίου «Άγιος Ανδρέας» και θα θυμούνται αυτές τις στιγμές. Ελπίζω να μην είναι μόνο θεωρία, αλλά να έχουν και ψάρεμα ή κάτι χειροπιαστό.

Bine au făcut că au început cu Seminarul din Galați. Copiii ăia de la centrele catehetice știu deja drumul spre biserică tot anul, acum o să petreacă cinci zile cu profesorii de la „Sfântul Andrei” și sigur o să le rămână în minte. Eu zic să bage și o zi de pescuit pe Dunăre, că nimic nu lipește mai bine un grup ca o undiță și un pește prins împreună.

Sounds like a solid start with those 50 gimnaziu kids from the Galati catechetical centers getting five full days at the Sfântul Andrei Seminary. The “Semințe de lumină” name fits — hope the workshops and sports actually stick with them like Father Robert Tiber said. Adding a fishing day on the Danube would make it even better, just like the other guys mentioned.

Добре, че са започнали точно от семинарията в Галац. Тези 50 деца от катехизаторските центрове вече знаят пътя към храма през цялата година, а сега пет дни с учителите от „Св. Андрей“ ще им останат в главата. Дано включат и някое практическо нещо, като спорт или работилница, че теорията сама по себе си не стига.

Yeah, those five days with the seminary teachers should give the kids something solid to remember. The catechetical centres already do good work during the year, so this feels like a proper follow-up. Fishing on the Danube is a fun idea – my uncle used to take us when I was that age and it always beat sitting in a classroom.

Хорошо, что начали именно с семинарии в Галац. Эти 50 ребят из катехизаторских центров уже весь год ходят в храм, а теперь пять дней с учителями из «Святого Андрея» точно запомнятся. Надеюсь, кроме мастерских и спорта успеют и на Дунай выбраться, как предлагали в комментариях — дело полезное.
