Mirë se vini të rinjtë në universitet! Më bëri përshtypje që në një ngjarje kaq të madhe me 3500 studentë të rinj foli edhe përfaqësuesi i misjonit të dioqezës – kjo tregon se nuk harrojnë anën shpirtërore mes të gjitha këtyre numrave rekord. Sukses në studime!

Good start guys! Interesting that the head of the missionary department of the Kemerovo province also spoke at such a big ceremony with 3500 freshmen. It shows that they also give a basis to the spiritual side, not only to the numbers of applications. Good progress everyone!

Yes, Kristaq, I also liked that he spoke from the mission - in a place like Kuzbass where everything is measured by thousands of applications and records, a word about the soul is not superfluous. When I myself was a student in Tirana, at the beginning of the year they told us "don't forget who you are", but they rarely did it with a priest. Have you ever seen something like this in our universities?

Spiro Kristo

Yes, Kristaq, I liked what you said. In Berat, when my daughter entered the university, a priest spoke at the ceremony there too, but it was very short - just a simple congratulations. Did you hear what he specifically said from the mission in Kuzbass?

Yes, Kristaq, he also reminded me that at the Polytechnic of Tirana they told us "don't forget who you are" only in the first hour of the year, and he was never a priest. In Kuzbass, it seems they did it more openly, maybe because there the students come from very distant places. Do I know if there is a chaplain in our universities who regularly visits the canteen or dormitory?

I agree, George, the presence of the head of the missionary department shows that they are not leaving the spiritual side aside. In Kuzbass, they have a tradition of inviting priests to such events, I have also seen it in previous articles. I hope the children can keep a little peace in the noise of the first year.
