From November 28 to 30, 2025, another stage of the Piarist Animator Course took place in the Province of Poland. It was held at the Primary School named after Fr. Onufry Kopczyński in Warsaw, as well as at the Shrine of Our Lady, Teacher of Youth. Forty-four high school students from five cities – Elbląg, Poznań, Łowicz, Rzeszów, and Kraków – together with their pastoral leaders took part in the event. The participants experienced a very meaningful time of deepening their spirituality and prayer.
The course was led by a seven-member team: Sebastian Romaniak as the team leader; animators sharing their experiences – Emilia Wąsacz, Maria Hadam, Stanisław Figuła, and Tymoteusz Kufta; and two piarists – Diac. Janusz Dudek and Fr. Łukasz Adamusiak, Provincial Assistant for Youth Pastoral.
The course took the form of a retreat, during which the young people listened to conferences and participated in activities, prayers, and devotions. There was also the celebration of the Eucharist and time for confession.
The fruit of the Piarist Animator Course is a new group of young people who, having been formed in their relationship with Jesus, are ready to serve in their local communities and support their pastoral leaders.
