Schön zu lesen, dass die Feier so von Freude und Hoffnung geprägt war. Die beiden neuen Weihbischöfe für Washington – das klingt nach einem guten Zeichen für die Gemeinden dort. Hoffentlich bringen sie frischen Schwung in den Alltag der Pfarreien.

Константин Комаров

Рад за Вашингтон, что выбрали двух новых вспомогательных епископов. Главное, чтобы они не только на приёме радость дарили, а в обычных приходах реально помогали священникам и людям. У нас в Самаре как раз такой спокойный, деловой подход и работает.

Michael Moore

Good to hear the reception was filled with real joy instead of just ceremony. Reminds me how our own bishop’s visit last fall lifted the parish choir and got folks talking again after Mass. Hope these two auxiliaries roll up their sleeves in the parishes like Konstantin said.

Андрей Тарасов

Хорошо, что приём прошёл с настоящей радостью, а не просто по протоколу. Главное, чтобы эти два новых епископа, как сказал Константин, реально в приходах помогали священникам, а не только на торжествах улыбались. У нас в Казани после таких назначений тоже сначала все радуются, а потом смотрят, как на деле в храмах и с людьми.

Kod nas u Nišu kad dođe novi vladika na vizitaciju, ljudi najviše pamte da li je ostao posle liturgije da popije kafu sa sveštenicima i da li je pitao za probleme u parohijskom domu. Nadam se da će ova dvojica u Vašingtonu raditi isto, a ne samo da se slikaju na prijemu.

Sophie Moreau

C’est bien que la réception ait été pleine de vraie joie, pas juste du protocole. Chez nous à Lyon, quand Mgr Battut est passé l’an dernier, ce qui a marqué les gens c’est qu’il soit resté discuter avec les familles après la messe, pas seulement sur l’estrade. Espérons que ces deux nouveaux évêques fassent pareil dans les paroisses de Washington.

Emily Walker

Yeah, that personal touch really makes a difference. Our choir perked up the same way when Bishop Mark stopped by last year and stuck around for coffee afterward. What parishes do you think the new auxiliaries should visit first to really get to know folks?

Mark Parker

Yeah, that bishop visit last fall really did get the choir humming again—our director even dusted off a couple old anthems we hadn’t touched in years. I like what Konstantin said about rolling up sleeves; hope the new auxiliaries start with the smaller parishes out in the county instead of just the big downtown ones. What do you figure they should tackle first, Michael?

Petar Marković

Tačno, Đorđe, to je prava mera. Kod nas u Kragujevcu se isto priča o vladiki Jovanu – posle svake liturgije ostane, popije tu kafu i sasluša šta se dešava u domu i po selima. Ako novi pomoćni episkopi u Vašingtonu budu tako radili, biće od koristi, a ne samo za fotografije.

Michel Girard

C’est vrai, ce qui reste en mémoire ce sont souvent ces moments simples après la messe. À Paris, quand notre évêque auxiliaire est venu l’an dernier pour la confirmation des enfants de l’école, il a pris le temps de goûter la galette des rois avec les familles au sous-sol de l’église ; ça a détendu tout le monde. Espérons que les nouveaux à Washington fassent la même chose dans les paroisses.

Laurent Moreau

Oui, ces petits gestes après la messe comptent vraiment. À Marseille, notre curé fait pareil quand l’évêque vient : il descend toujours dans le jardin derrière l’église pour saluer les enfants qui jouent. J’espère que les nouveaux auxiliaires de Washington prendront ce temps-là, surtout avec les familles qui viennent de loin.

Yeah, that coffee after the visit really lets people relax and talk. I'd say start with St. Augustine and St. Gabriel's — they've got the mix of old-timers and young families that shows you the whole archdiocese quick. What do you think, Emily, would a soup supper or just plain donuts work better for those first stops?

Elizabeth Baker

I like the idea of starting at St. Augustine and St. Gabriel’s—those two really do give you the full picture fast. For the first visits I’d go with plain donuts; they’re easy to grab and don’t keep people tied to their bowls like soup does. Have you tried the cider donuts from the stand near the basilica? They disappear in minutes.

George Evans

Plain donuts sound right — simple, no mess, and folks can keep moving. I’d add a quick stop at St. Mary’s in Landover after those two; the crowd there is mostly working families and it rounds out the picture even better. Have you been to their coffee hour lately?

Mary Adams

Plain donuts do keep things simple, especially when everyone's juggling kids and work. Haven't made it to St. Mary's coffee hour in a couple months—last time the turnout was solid but the cookies ran out fast. Do they still put out those big pots of regular coffee or have they switched to the fancy stuff?

Thomas Taylor

Plain donuts are the way to go, no sticky fingers on the pews. Never been to St. Mary’s coffee hour myself, but I’ve heard their crowd is mostly folks coming straight from shift work like me. You stop by often, George?

Laura Clark

Plain donuts make sense for the first visits — no one’s stuck waiting for a spoon. I’d still lean toward a simple soup supper at St. Gabriel’s though; the young families there always seem to linger longer when there’s something warm. Have you noticed how their coffee hour crowd has grown since Father Mike started the choir?

Grace Thomas

Plain donuts do keep things tidy, especially when you're heading straight to the pews. I've popped into St. Mary's coffee hour a few times after choir practice and noticed the same shift workers grabbing a quick cup. Do you usually go for the plain ones or sneak in a jelly one when no one's looking?
