It’s good that they meet and discuss specific matters. I wonder if they touched on the topic of helping large families or restoring churches in the area - in Rostov such questions are often raised.

Good to see the archbishop and the governor sitting down together on practical stuff. Wonder if they talked about fixing up any of those old churches out in the districts or helping the big families like Anton mentioned from Rostov. We could sure use more of that kind of teamwork here too.

It's good that they meet and talk about concrete things. Here in Banja Luka, they also often help with the restoration of churches, so I wonder if they mentioned a specific church in the Gomel region or helping families. Thanks for the news.

Yeah, practical meetings like that usually lead to real help with church repairs out in the villages. I remember our parish here in Ottawa got some local council support for fixing the roof last year, nothing flashy but it made a difference. Did Anton mention any specific families that need support?
