Nearly 30 Redemptorists and lay persons took part in that meeting to get more information about the gathering in Bratislava and to decide on the next meeting in 2023.

The responsible for the youth ministry are aware of a need for stronger cooperation in different fields, not only in regard to the international youth meetings. They considered a possible missionary work, the formation of leaders, learning of foreign languages and sharing of the places of the mission with young people.

Paweł Drobot CSsR. The Coordinator f the CRE, Fr. Johannes Römelt CSsR was present as well. The newly ordained Fr.
