19 November 2024

Wrocław, Poland - November 2024 - On 9 and 10 November, about one hundred young people from the Salesian presences in Wrocław, Lubin, Dzierżoniów and Chocianów, took part in the night vigil organised at the Christ the King Youth Centre  The programme included two special guests: Jasiek Mela, a Polish explorer the youngest person in history to conquer the South and North Poles in one year and the first person with a disability to do so; and the diocesan youth pastor of the Wrocław Archdiocese, Fr Piotr Rozprzedowski. A particularly moving point of the programme was the testimony of Jasiek Mela, who spoke about his experiences, the accident in which he lost his limbs, but also about his journey to the North Pole and his mission and work in various foundations. Fr Piotr Roznpowski, who presided over the evening Eucharist, spoke about the role of young people in the Church and how important it is for young people to be active in their faith. He spoke about the power of prayer and community. A unique moment, as the vigil participants themselves pointed out, was the night adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, a time of personal prayer and reflection. This was followed by various workshops in decoupage, functional dance, film marathon and board games. The vigil ended in the morning with a classic integration dance.
