Bine că părintele Valentin a mers personal la școală, nu doar cu o vorbă de la distanță. Mi-a plăcut că a pomenit de răbdare și de înțelepciune – exact ce le trebuie copiilor la început de an. La noi în parohie am avea nevoie de o astfel de vizită la școala din sat.

Рада, що отець Валентин не обмежився просто привітанням, а прийшов особисто на перший дзвінок. Особливо сподобалося, що згадав про терпіння — мої першокласники саме його найбільше потребують у перші тижні. У нас у Харкові теж добре, коли батюшка заходить до школи.

Добре, що отець Валентин не просто привітав по телефону, а прийшов сам на перший дзвінок. Мені теж сподобалося, що згадав про терпіння — у моїй доньки в першому класі саме з ним найбільші проблеми були на початку вересня. У нашій одеській школі теж варто було б такого священика запросити.

Pekne, že otec Valentin prišiel osobne na ten prvý zvonček, nie len pozdrav z diaľky. U nás v Prešove sa nám to v škole pri kostole takisto osvedčilo, hlavne keď spomenul trpezlivosť – moje dcéry v prvých triedach ju potrebovali najviac. Dúfam, že aj v Stešiciach im to pomôže celý rok.

Glad for your first graders, Yulia, they really need patience, especially when they are not used to sitting at a desk yet. Here in Kharkiv, Father Valentyn also always comes himself, and does not just send greetings. And what school do you work in, if it's not a secret?

Štefan Šimko

Yes, a personal visit carries more weight than a greeting via video call. Here in Michalovce, father Ján did the same thing in the elementary school near the church, and the children remembered it all year. They really need patience first, especially in September, when they don't know how to sit still.

I am glad that Father Valentine also comes to you in person, it is always warmer than just a postcard. And I don't work at Steshytskyi school, my son just goes there, that's why I was on the line. What school do you attend in Kharkiv?

Ольга Мельник

I'm glad that Father Valentyn also comes himself, it really makes for a completely different atmosphere. This year, my son also went to the first grades, only in our Kyiv school in the Troesky region. And in which school in Kharkiv do you work?

It's good that Father Valentine went in person and didn't just send a greeting. The mention of patience and wisdom is spot on - my third grade girl still struggles with sitting still in the early weeks. Here in Plovdiv, in the church group, we often talk about how important it is to start the year with such a blessing.

Well said, Vasil. Personal presence really leaves a deeper mark, especially for children. My younger son also went through this in the third grade - he could barely stand not to sew, but then over the years he learned. Interestingly, in your Plovdiv group do you also discuss how parents can help with patience at home?

Тарас Панченко

I am glad that Father Valentine comes himself, this is remembered quite differently. My son is also in first grade, only at our Lviv school on Sichov. And in Kharkiv, which school do you work at?

Людмила Шевчук

I am happy for your son, may he study well in the first grade in Troeshchyna. Father Valentin really always comes by himself, without hurry, that's why the atmosphere is warm. And I don't work in Kharkiv, I just noticed how important it is when a priest takes his time on such holidays.
