The Personal Fraternity of the SFO in Staryi Ostropil

On 17-27 June 2010 for the first time in the history of the Franciscan School of Evangelization held an unusual convocation, which met couples. Most of them are ministers or members of the School. The place of the meeting was a picturesque town of the Southern Crimean near the Black Sea - Rybache village. About ten wedded pairs gathered in a hospitable household of of Victor and Valentina, a couple. The spiritual assistant of the FSE was at the convocation.

Combining the spiritual work with relaxation, couples were able to listen to the conferences, to take part in the celebration of the Eucharist, to understand what is calling to live in marriage, which is the mission of a man and a woman in it.

At the end of the convocation during the Liturgy all the wedded pairs could renew marriage vows.
