The missionary send-off took place during Holy Mass presided over by Fr Andrzej Kr&oacute;l, Provincial Economer of PLS. The 16 volunteers, who have been trained within the SWM community over the past year, have been engaged in voluntary work in Poland and have completed their discernment process ahead of their missionary departure, subsequently receiving their missionary crosses as a sign of blessing for their departure to mission posts in Africa, South America, Asia and Europe. This is always one of the most important moments for the volunteer community, marking the end of a phase of formation in Poland and, at the same time, introducing the volunteers to a &lsquo;new journey&rsquo;: the period of departure and missionary work abroad. The missionary crosses were blessed and presented by Fr Kr&oacute;l. The Holy Mass was concelebrated by Salesian missionary priests Fr Ryszard \u0141ach, Fr Piotr Wojnarowski, Fr Waldemar Jonatowski, Fr Artur Bartol and Fr Czes\u0142aw Lenczuk, as well as Fr \u0141ukasz W&oacute;jcik, Fr Franciszek Janyga, Fr Miros\u0142aw Kosiec, Fr Andrzej Urba\u0144czyk and Fr Wiktor \u0141awnicki. Over 300 people attended the Mass: the families of the volunteers about to set off, friends, other volunteers and benefactors, without whose support the organisation of missionary trips and the presence of missionaries would not be possible. After the solemn Mass in the Seminary Chapel, everyone made their way to the <em>Villaggi del Mondo<\/em> Park, where a missionary picnic was held, serving as a continuation of shared joy, celebration and fellowship.
