With the blessing of His Eminence Bishop Vikenty, the dean of the Tyukalinsk district, Archpriest Dimitry Grishin, attended the ceremonial functions in the lyceum and gymnasium of the city of Tyukalinsk. Together with the heads of education of the district, the head of the municipality and other invited guests, he congratulated everyone on the beginning of the new school year.

Having blessed the children, addressing the students, Father Dimitri wished them to confidently walk the path of knowledge to happiness, while not forgetting to cultivate the good qualities of the soul and learn to live according to God's truth. He emphasized that each of them must become a worthy heir and creator of their Motherland, multiply its achievements and honor the memory of the founders.

He wished all students not to be afraid of difficulties, to boldly follow their dreams, to enjoy every new discovery and to remember: school is not only lessons, but also a place where character is strengthened and true friendship is born. May the Lord grant them wisdom, the joy of knowledge and faith in their own strength.

It’s good that Father Dimitri visited the lyceum and gymnasium, and not just the church. I especially remember about “cultivating the good qualities of the soul” - now children need this most of all. May the Lord truly give them the strength not to be afraid of difficulties, as he said.

Good thing that Father Dimitrij went straight to the schools and not just to the church. I also liked the "bringing good qualities to the soul" the most, children really need that today. May they prosper and the friendships that are born there.

It's good that father Dimitrios went straight to high school and high school, not just to church. I especially liked that he told the children to “cultivate good qualities of soul” – this is sorely lacking today. And the friendship that is born at school is one of the most beautiful things, may God grant them to keep it.
