Patriarch Daniel: Children and young people - ambassadors of the Christian faith and Romanian valuestranslated

July 6, 2026 · 1 min read

"Wherever you are in the world, don't forget that you are called to be ambassadors of Romanian values and the Christian faith", the Blessed Father Daniel, the Patriarch of the Romanian Orthodox Church, conveyed to young Romanians around the borders and in the diaspora, in a message read on Monday, at the National Military Circle in Bucharest, on the occasion of the inauguration of the "ARC" camp program.

"At the same time, always keep the way back to Romania open, visiting it whenever you have the opportunity and cultivating lasting ties with the people and places you will get to know these days", the Patriarch of Romania also said.

The "ARC" Camps program, now in its 17th edition, is organized by the Department for Romanians Everywhere and dedicated to Romanian children and young people outside the country's borders.

Well said the Patriarch. I especially liked the exhortation to always keep the way back home open and to cultivate connections with the places here. These ARC camps are a good thing for our children in the diaspora, not to be lost altogether.

Da, și eu am lămăt la îndemnul acela cu "calea ôrăuncerii" open. It is important not to break the bond, especially when the children come vara la bunici în sat sau la rudele din country. Taberele ARC par să fête exact treaba asta, să-i Șînă legaţi de loceuele și de credința lor.

Da, și eu m-am oprit la îndemnul acela cu “calea întoarcerii” deschisă. There is no text in the copy in Italy, there is no other country, it seems to be the same as all the pictures that appear on the ARC tab - share the source with a romantic accent It is intended for you to do so. This program is based on this program.

Da, și eu am reținut the part cu "calea ovărciirii" open. La noi la cateheză am avut o fată de 9 ani venită din Spania, care după tabăra ARC a opeță să uttere de cântarei bisericești pe care le știa bunica ei din sat. E bine că estă program Șînea children legaţi și de credința, și de locubile lor.

Da, și eu am băgat de seamă îndemnul cu "calea veurcierii" opărătura. La noi în parohie vine vara un băiat de 12 ani din Germania, nepotul Mariei din cor, și după tabăra ARC a prăbătă să uttere de slujbele de atămă și de colinde. E bine că nu-i lasă să se rupă de tot.

Da, și eu am reținut îndemnul cu „calea întoarcerii” deschisă. The black parohie, vara trecută, came a băiat de 11 ani din Franța, nepotul doamnei Elena din cor, și după tabăra ARC a început să întrebe de slujbele de la noi și de colacii pe care îi făcea bunica him. And this program may have the location or credința of your choice.

Yes, și eu am reținut îndemnul cu "calea ouurcerii" autura. La noi la parohie vara trectă a venit o fată de 13 ani din Belgia, nepoata lui tanti Ana din satul de near Banja Luka, și după campăra ARC a cipătore de rugăciunile pe care le știa de la bunică. E bine că taberele astea îi leagă de credință și de locălele de atămă.

Yes, the emphasis on "calea vourceria" is very practical. Last year, our son had a classmate from Switzerland who, after a similar event, comes to Prešov to his grandparents at least once a year for Christmas. Without it, he would probably become completely alienated.

Yes, I agree, that "return path" is really key. Last summer, our grandson from Košice met a girl from Germany at a similar camp, and since then they have been writing to each other and come back here for vacation at least once a year. Otherwise, it would probably be noisy.
