On November 13, the head of the department for work with youth of the Simbirsk diocese, Sergei Nikolaev, met with his charges at the Radius social rehabilitation center from the autonomous non-profit organization Social Welfare. The confessor of the Radius center, Priest Igor Kazachkov, was present at the meeting. Father Igor visits the center’s wards twice a month and holds thematic conversations with them.

The head of the diocesan youth department spoke about churches and monasteries, photographs of which are placed in the calendar “Churches of the Simbirsk Metropolis”, published by the Simbirsk diocese. He showed the historical plan of the city of Simbirsk from 1898 and the corresponding modern map of the historical center of Ulyanovsk, presented in the toponymic photo album of local historians V.N. Ilyin and A.P. Rassadina "Simbirsk-Ulyanovsk". The center's wards expressed a desire to take part in excursions around the churches of the city and region. They all received small icons as a gift, and the diocesan annual almanac “Milestones and People” was transferred to the center’s library.

At the end of the meeting, Father Igor and Sergei Nikolaev, together with the director of the center Milena Krasnova, discussed the plan for upcoming joint events.
