On 12-14th of February the second volunteer meeting took place. 50 people from Redemptorist parishes have expressed their will to assist at the Redemptorist youth Congress that will be held in August. Participants kept coming from Friday night up till Saturday morning. Exactly then, at 9 am with joint prayer the training began. At the first meeting members of the organizing committee shared the detailed information about the contents, program, and schedule for Lviv-2010.
Afterwards Psychologist Olga Vitiuk led the training on “Guidance and Leadership”, during which participants, being split in groups, determined features and traits inherent to leader’s personality.
After launch to-be volunteers visited the meeting site and viewed the pictures. Later on participants were split in two groups – language and technical teams.
Lecture on first aid given by Mrs. Oksana was attended by participants in the evening.
Afterwards the fun began. Every community had prepared some game of it’s own, so there was some sort of a carnival before the beginning of the Lent. At the very end a joint prayer was conducted by “Little Angelette” from Ivano-Frankivsk.
On Sundary a prayer for forgiveness took place after the Liturgy. It was a deeply moving event. Tears also fell during the leave-taking, participants bid farewell till the next volunteer meeting, which is about to occur right before Lviv-2010.
We are very grateful to all who assisted in preparation and during the course of the meeting.
