Good dates for marriage preparation seminars are especially September 12 and November 14. But the golf tournament on September 29 is something new for us. I wonder how many of us will go?

Tamara Pavlović

Sofija Kostić

Yes, that seminar on September 12 seems the most useful to me, and I have already put a reminder in my calendar. For the golf tournament, I'm not sure if there will be many of our people from Nis, but if anyone goes, let me know how it went. Would you perhaps go to one of these seminars?

Milica Marković

I would definitely go to that seminar on September 12, because it falls right after my shift at the hospital and I have a day off. The golf tournament on September 29 sounds strange to our people, but if anyone from Nis is going, let me know how it went. Thanks for the reminder, Sofia.

Nemanja Savić

I would also like to go to that seminar on September 12th, but that Saturday falls just as I have a shift in the workshop. For the golf tournament on September 29, I haven't heard that anyone from our parish has registered, but if you hear something, tell me. Would you perhaps go to the seminar alone?

ميرنا حداد

I am very interested in the symposium on September 12, especially since it is in the cathedral. I have a son in elementary school, and I was thinking of asking about practical advice for couples with young children. Are any of you going?

Тамара Смирнова

And September 12th is convenient for me; after work I can drop by the cathedral for a seminar. The golf tournament on the 29th is definitely for those who have been living in America for a long time; our Tula residents are unlikely to go. Has anyone been to something like this in the past?

كارلا نصار

Hello Mirna, I am also interested in the symposium on September 12th because it is in the cathedral. My eldest son is now 22 years old, but I remember how we needed practical advice when he was young, especially the issue of the time between prayer and school. I will go, God willing, will we see you there?

Marija Savić

I would definitely go to that seminar on September 12, because it seems to me that's when I have a free Saturday. And the golf tournament on September 29 surprised me, I don't know if our people from Boston will participate much, but maybe it's a good opportunity to get together. Thanks for reminding me of all the dates. I find it very interesting that you said about golf, I never thought that it could bring people from our parish together. I will probably go to the seminar on October 17, because then it fits better with my school and preschool schedule. Have you ever been to a similar seminar?

Monika Müller

The 12th of September doesn't work for me at all, as I already have my younger daughter's birthday then. But the Choral Federation Congress on November 13th sounds interesting – maybe I can make it since I sing in the church choir anyway. Has anyone of you ever participated in such a golf tournament?

Jiří Veselý

I would like not to miss the seminar on September 12, because I don't have any sewing deadlines that day and I can listen to it in peace. The golf tournament on September 29 seems a bit strange for our parish, but maybe it will interest some of the younger ones. Who among you has already attended a similar seminar?

Мариана Попова

As for me, I see that all three marriage preparation seminars are on Saturdays, and on September 12, that's when I'm on shift at the store until 2 p.m. I might be able to go to the cathedral afterwards, especially if there's something practical for young families. Has anyone been to the previous one?

Katharina Becker

It's a shame that September 12th doesn't work out for you because of your birthday. I took part in the golf tournament for the first time last year - it was surprisingly fun, even though I usually only hit the ball a few meters. Would you like to come to the congress with a few people from the choir?

Георги Петров

Mariana, all three seminars are indeed on Saturdays, which for people with normal jobs is a bit inconvenient. I was at the previous one in the spring - there was a lot of practical stuff about family communication, especially in the early years. If you can make it after 2 pm, try it, the cathedral is not far from the center.

Lucie Nováková

The seminar on September 12th sounds good, I would also like to watch it, because marriage still needs to be polished even after 32 years. A golf tournament also seems a little out of place for me, but if it attracts young people, why not. Have you been to a marriage seminar before, or will this be your first time?

Lenka Svobodová

That's right, Lucie, after 32 years it's still useful. My husband and I attended one such seminar five years ago in Brno, and we keep coming back to those notes. Are you going alone or with your husband?

Petra Svobodová

Exactly, Lucie, I would also try the seminar on September 12, even though my husband and I have been together for 18 years. Last year we were at a similar event in Prague and it helped us mainly with communication about raising a child. Would you go there with your husband, or would it be more for you alone?
