Good to see Father Alexander Tkachenko and Father Vitaly Levchuk out there speaking directly to the kids and teachers. The bit about parents being a good example and support hit home—mine are still little but that's exactly what we'll need in a few years. Nice that they mentioned turning to the Lord and the Mother of God for help too.

Súhlasím, ten príhovor otca Vitalija Levčuka v Dovskej škole ma zaujal. Najmä keď spomínal, aby rodičia boli deťom dobrým príkladom a oporou – to je presne to, čo doma skúšame s naším synom, keď sa vracia z univerzity. Pekné, že spomenuli aj pomoc od Panny Márie.
