EUROPE/POLAND - New session of missionary workshops promoted by PMS of Czestochowa

Czestochowa (Agenzia Fides) – Saturday, January 23 marked the beginning of a new round of "Missionary Workshops" for the children and young people of the Archdiocese of Czestochowa. The workshops are given by priests, religious, catechists, animators, and all the missionaries in charge of the Pontifical Mission Societies in the parishes of the Archdiocese. The monthly meeting is taking place at the Parish of St. James the Apostle. The "Missionary Workshops" began in 2000, as an initiative of the Archbishop of Czestochowa, Archbishop Stanislaw Nowak, and are organized by the Diocesan Director of the Pontifical Mission Societies, Fr. Jacek Gancarek. The main theme for the “Missionary Workshops" to be held this year is as follows:"We must be witnesses of God who is Love." The discussion will, therefore, be devoted to the sanctity of human life and dignity of the human person. (MF/SL) (Agenzia Fides 27/1/2010)
