Poland - "A Dream come true": meeting of young oratory leaders
Poznań, Poland - November 2023 - The Salesian Oratory in Poznań, in the Province of Poland-Wrocław (PLO), welcomed over the weekend of 11-12 November more than 300 young leaders who came for a formation meeting focused on "A dream come true". On the first day, the young people performed traditional dances, accompanied by music played by the Salesian Sound System group. They then experienced a special moment with evening prayer and adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. The following day, the young people were able to participate in interesting thematic round tables, such as an evangelisation meeting - for those attending the Oratory for the first time; a biblical meeting, or a missionary and patriotic one, as it was the anniversary of Poland's independence. Fr Bartłomiej Polański, Superior of the PLO Province, preached the Word of God during the midday Eucharist and welcomed the service of an acolyte, Norbert Rosiński SDB. A strong accent of community unity was given, finally, with the procession with the flags from each oratory, patriotic songs and the classical national dance.
