Metropolitan Alexy congratulated the people of the South Urals on Teacher's Daytranslated

To the Minister of Education and Science of the Chelyabinsk Region V.V. Litka I cordially congratulate you, teachers, teachers, employees of educational institutions and veterans of teaching work on your professional holiday - Teacher's Day! The teaching ministry has at all times been one of the most responsible and honorable. This work requires not only deep knowledge, but also special spiritual generosity, patience and love for children. It is the teacher who helps the young person gain knowledge and at the same time find moral guidelines, form an inner world, and become familiar with the spiritual values ​​and traditions of our Fatherland. I extend special words of gratitude to veterans of teaching work, whose many years of experience and dedication serve as an example for young teachers. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you for the fruitful cooperation of the Chelyabinsk diocese and the Ministry of Education and Science of the Chelyabinsk Region, for organizing and conducting joint events aimed at the spiritual and moral education of the younger generation.

With all my heart I wish you and the entire teaching community of the Southern Urals good health, strength and patience, prosperity and God’s help in your noble and difficult work...
