Maria Ciobanu

It's good that we are working together on these traditional values. In our parish, the priest often talks about family and faith, so I also see the point. What concrete projects are they preparing now in Ugra?

Gabriela Rusu

You're right, Maria, our priest also talks about family and faith at services. I read that in Ugra they want to do together summer camps for children and moral education courses in schools. What do you think, would something like this work in our parish?

Andreea Matei

Yes, Gabriela, summer camps with priests and educators sound good, especially since here many children spend the summer in blocks without much activity. At our parish we could try something smaller at first, maybe a Saturday catechesis circle with games and stories from the lives of the saints. Did you talk to the parent about it?

Ilie Constantinescu

Yes, Maria, you're right, this collaboration between the authorities and the Church can bring good things, especially when it's specifically about the family. In our parish, our priest, Father Nicolae, always insists on the same thing in catechesis. Do you think it would be useful to organize a meeting with the parents in the village to see what activity ideas would catch on with the young people?

Florin Stoica

Yes, Ilie, I also think that a meeting with the parents would be useful, especially since in our parish many young people go to work in the city and lose ties. Father Nicolae is right to insist on the family, but maybe we could also invite the truck drivers from the village, because they see daily what the world looks like outside. What specific activities do you have in mind for young people?

Constantin Ciobanu

Yes, Andreea, the catechesis circle on Saturdays with games and stories from the lives of the saints would be a good and suitable start for our children who otherwise stay around the blocks. In our parish, we could use the hall downstairs from the parish house, it is quite spacious. Have you already spoken to the parent or are we waiting to see what he says on Sunday after service?
