Hope the clergy come away with something practical they can actually use back in their parishes.

Mă bucur că s-au adunat la Sfânta Parascheva din Torino, am fost și eu acolo la o slujbă acum doi ani și e o biserică primitoare. Părintele George Grigoriță a vorbit bine despre pregătirea continuă, că altfel ne trezim că slujim din obișnuință. Sper ca pr. Dumitru Ștefănescu să fi explicat clar partea administrativă, că la noi în diaspora birocrația poate fi complicată.
