Хорошо, что священники из Всехсвятского благочиния тоже были на линейках в Советском районе. У нас в Троице обычно батюшка только в одну школу успевает, а тут сразу несколько. Интересно, в каком именно году семинария открыла это административное совещание 2 сентября, до или после линеек?

Our priest Fr. George usually only makes it to one school too, just like in Троице. Nice to see the All Saints deanery priests covering several at once in the Soviet district. The article says the seminary meeting was on September 2, but the school lines were on the 1st — wonder if they squeezed both days in.

Here in Berlin we also try to ensure that the priest has time for at least two or three schools on September 1, but often only one is possible. It’s interesting how many priests from the All Saints Deanery dispersed throughout the Sovetsky district this time - they didn’t write in the article. And the seminar meeting on September 2, which means it was already after the lines, is logical.

In Tula, our priests also try to visit at least a couple of schools on the first day, but they always complain that they are running out of time. It’s good that in the All Saints Deanery several priests dispersed throughout the Sovetsky district, the children were probably happy. But about the seminar meeting on September 2, I wonder in what year it was first held, before or after the line?

In Prague, too, my father usually makes it to only one school at 1st grade, and the children then tell me how pleased they were. It is good that in the All Saints Deanery several priests dispersed throughout the Sovetsky district. But about the meeting at the seminary on September 2, it is interesting what exactly the Patriarch wrote in the congratulations - they did not say in the article.

Our priest Fr. George does the same thing here in Portland—usually picks one local school and sticks to that. The Soviet district priests really spread themselves thin on the 1st. Did your Fr. George mention how the kids reacted this year?

Василий Орлов

In Moscow, too, priests travel to several schools, but they always say that they only have time to say a few words and then. It’s interesting, though, when the Novosibirsk Seminary held such an administrative meeting for the first time after the assembly - maybe one of the locals can tell me. And in Tula, do priests often manage to visit at least two schools?

Michael Carter

Our priest Fr. George usually sticks to the one school in our part of Ottawa too, so it's good the All Saints deanery priests managed a few more. The September 2 seminary meeting must have been a long couple of days for them after the lines on the 1st. Did any of the kids mention the Patriarch's greeting at your end?

Людмила Комарова

In Yaroslavl, our priests also manage to complete several schools, but more often than not they will say just a few words: “study with God, don’t be lazy.” But when the Novosibirsk Seminary held such a meeting for the first time after classes, it would be interesting to know. In Tula, you say, do they often visit two schools?
