In the last few months, our FSP missionaries in Russia have been meeting young Russian Catholics through their participation in the monthly youth gatherings organized by Archbishop Paolo Pezzi of Moscow.
The encounters have not only given our sisters several opportunities to speak about the Pauline mission to young people but also resulted in an invitation to present our charism to the members of the local Salesian Oratory. The participants watched our sisters? power point presentation with great interest and a lively interaction with them followed.
During a music festival organized by the animators of the same Oratory, Sr. Regi performed a classical Indian dance, while Sr. Roberta documented the event through her numerous photographs. These are some of the small steps our Pauline missionaries are taking to get to know the young people of Russia and they tell us they have found the doors open and the reception positive. Their next appointment will be in the Cathedral of Moscow on 2 February, to celebrate the day dedicated to the consecrated life.
It will be yet another chance for our sisters to present the Pauline mission, this time to the other religious Congregations present in the city.
