I am glad that Father Alexander was there as a spiritual. Our place has a tradition with the Cossacks, it's good that it stays alive. What was the final tally, did they report anything special?

Father Alexander has been the spiritual father for the Cossacks here for years, good to see him at the Big Circle again. The cultural center at our Azoz icon church is the perfect spot for it. Did they mention anything specific in the report about the youth programs or the choir work this time?

Yes, Father Alexander was there from beginning to end. The report was mostly about summer jobs – cleaning the river, helping two families who lost their homes in the flood and preparing for the feast of the Azov icon. Nothing spectacular, but solid work. Have you ever been in such a circle?

Yes, I am also glad that Father Alexander went, I saw him later in the church and he told me that the conversation was calm. The account was not original, but I liked that they mentioned the march for the walk organized by the youth together with the choir. Do you usually go to such events?
