In the Piarist Shrine of the Mother of God in Warsaw, “under the mantle” of the Lady of Youth, a spiritual course for animators of the Polish Province took place from 29 November to 1 December.

It was the second phase of the formation course for young people who want to live the Calasanctian charism of spirituality shared in the community and experienced in the Piarist mission. This second phase takes the form of an evangelisation retreat. This year, 69 boys and girls from Bolesławiec, Łowicz, Poznań, Elbląg and Kraków took part. The coordination team of the course consists of two Piarist religious and seven adult animators representing various institutions in the region: the high school in Kraków, the parishes of Rzeszów and Warsaw, the Piarist school in Rzeszów, the Alumni Service in Kraków associated with the group of university students of the Calasanz Movement. The next stage in the formation of animators will be a practical introduction to Lectio Divina.
