Congratulations to all the children who passed their exams! I like that Metropolitan Gerasim was present in person, as it should be. May the Lord give them an increase in learning Byzantine music.

Élodie Bernard

Congratulations to the successful students! It is good that Mgr Gérasime was present in person to supervise, as the article mentions. I hope that Byzantine music continues to be transmitted in this way in the parish.

Congratulations to all the children who passed! It's good that Metropolitan Gerasimos was there in person, as he writes in the article. Here in Krakow, we also try to make sure that the tradition does not disappear.

I'm glad for the kids that they passed their exams. It’s good that Metropolitan Gerasimos himself came and looked after it, as it was written. Here in Krasnodar we also try to ensure that singing in church is not lost, especially at Sunday services.

Glad the kids who passed got through it. Nice that Metropolitan Gerasimos showed up in person like the article says — that kind of support matters. We could use more of that back home for our chanters.

Mark Parker

Glad the kids who passed their exams got through it. Nice that Metropolitan Gerasimos was there in person watching over things, just like the article says. Our choir director back in Pittsburgh always says that kind of hands-on support from the bishop keeps the chant alive better than anything.

Yes, the presence of Mgr Gérasime always makes a difference for the students. At home in Toulouse we saw the same thing last year with our metropolitan: the children stand straighter when the bishop is there in person. Do you yourself sing a little Byzantine in the parish?
