The European Zone Coordination would like to share with you with great joy the news of the Sending Forth of the first six lay Guides in Poland. Mass was celebrated at the Capuchin brothers Convent in Stalowa Wola on the 20th of February 2022. Present at the event were the International Coordinator, Lorena Rodriguez, as well as the European Zone Coordinator, Mercedes Rodriguez.
All this has been possible thanks to the work done by Fray Robert, Guide who was responsible for the School of Preparation for Guides as well as the work done by Francesco, a Guide from Verona, Italia, who was responsible for facilitating the School of Preparation to the Capuchins. To this date there were six Capuchin Guides (4 friars and 2 nuns). We thank God now for adding six lay Guides to the Polish Guide family.
The other great news is the School of Preparation for Guides, with 3 future Guides. This school is being helding in Cracovia, facilitated by Fray Augustyn, who is already covering the second stage of the school.
“We will be praying for this expansion in Poland asking God that they will persevere in this consecrated vocation. We thank the Capuchin Brothers who have been helping so much in the work of expanding the PLW family in Poland”.
