Youth is truly a gift! A gift the Holy Father chose to place in the center of attention, in the heart of the Church, by convoking a Synod dedicated to them (October 2018). We also put ourselves on the journey to welcome and accompany them in the discovery and following of Jesus Christ, the Divine Master.
Retreat for youth in the deanery
On December 2, 2017, our parish held a retreat for the young people in the deanery. The young people came from various parishes. Each parish participated responsibly in the organization of the retreat. It was a beautiful experience to discover that there are many young people who desire to build their life with Christ.
Koliada
On December 25, 2017, following an ancient Ukrainian tradition, the young people from the two parishes of Khmelnyckyi, together with the Sisters, Sr. Edita Maria Ulman SSpS, Sr. M. Ania Chernetska pddm and Sr. M. Halina Sternicka pddm, went out to announce to all that Christ is born. This kind of proclamation is called “koliaduvania”. It was a beautiful experience crossing the city singing Christmas carols. We hope that God used us to instill the Good News in the hearts of the people.
