(ANS – Ląd nad Wartą) – From 6 to 11 July, the Salesian Major Seminary in Ląd nad Wartą hosted a course for lectors and masters of ceremonies for altar servers from the Salesian provinces of St Wojciech of Piła and St Stanislaus Kostka of Warsaw. Nearly 70 young people took part in the initiative, committed to preparing for their roles as lectors and masters of ceremonies in their own parishes and communities. The programme combined a solid liturgical formation with practical workshops. Participants explored in depth the proclamation of the Word of God, diction and phonetics, the preparation of the Prayer of the Faithful, and the correct use of the microphone, as well as studying the liturgy, the liturgical year, the Roman Missal and the rules governing service at the altar. Spiritual formation was at the heart of the experience. Each day was marked by communal prayer, the celebration of the Eucharist, the Liturgy of the Hours, the traditional Salesian ‘goodnight’, as well as moments of recreation and fellowship which fostered the growth of relationships and a sense of belonging to the ecclesial community. A particularly significant moment was the pilgrimage to the Shrine of Our Lady of Consolation in Kawnice.
