Religious youth retreats held in Poland, Ukraine, and Moldova

Religious organizations in Eastern Europe have conducted summer programs for children and altar servers. In Poland, the Oblates of Mary Immaculate organized an integration camp for altar servers from various parishes. The program combined spiritual activities, such as daily Eucharist and confession, with recreational sports including paintball, kayaking, archery, and a multi-discipline sports olympiad.

Additionally, the Missionary Team East, a group of Redemptorists and laypeople, held summer retreats for approximately 210 children across Ukraine and Moldova. The mission visited locations including Rivne, Mizynets, Trschenets, and Kamianets-Podilskyi in Ukraine, as well as Rîșcani in Moldova. These retreats focused on biblical figures from the Old Testament to teach themes of prayer and trust in God.
