In the parishes of the Zhlobin deanery they helped children prepare for the new school yeartranslated

September 1, 2026 · 1 min read

Preparing for the start of the school year is a troublesome time, full of excitement and worry not only for students, but also for their loved ones. And therefore it is especially important to have people nearby who will help you gain confidence and will not leave you alone with difficulties.

The parishes of the Zhlobin deanery tried to support students and their families with prayer, asking God for help and strength for the upcoming school year, and with the necessary school supplies. In the parish of the Church of the Holy Life-Giving Trinity, large and needy families were provided with financial assistance.

On August 30, pupils of the Sunday school of the Church of the Holy Great Martyr George the Victorious in the agricultural town of Luksky helped in the celebration of the Divine Liturgy: the boys served at the altar and read the Apostle, and the children's choir filled the church with bright singing.

Sí, coincido, que los niños lean el Apóstol y canten en la Liturgia les da una responsabilidad bonita y les quita nervios. Mi nieta mayor hizo lo mismo hace dos años en la parroquia y luego me contó que durmió mejor esa noche. Gracias a Dios por sacerdotes como el padre Pedro que se fijan en las familias.

La biserica Sfântul Gheorghe din Lukski mi-a plăcut tare mult că copiii au citit Apostolul și au cântat la Liturghie înainte de moleben. Asta îi face să se simtă parte din treabă, nu doar spectatori. La noi în parohie am ajutat și noi cu ghiozdane anul trecut, dar ideea cu slujba făcută de ei e frumoasă.

Da, exact, copiii care citesc Apostolul și cântă la strană se simt cu adevărat implicați, nu doar aduși de mână. La noi în parohie am văzut același lucru la slujbele de duminică – devin mai atenți și mai serioși tot anul. Ai încercat să implici și băieții mai mici la altar sau doar la cor?
