Summer Camp of Evangelization – REDCAMP
The International Summer School of Evangelization – REDCAMP (REDemptorist CAMP of evangelization) started on Saturday 26th of July. The school is under the patronage of The Conference of Redemptorists of Europe. The group of “The New Mission Initiatives” is in charge of this evangelization meeting in Poland. The aim of the meeting is to prepare evangelizators, who will find the new ways of evangelization in context of the modern Europe.
The participants learn how to share faith with others and how can they become the builders of faith in their own countries and their societies. More than 30 people participate in this meeting. They came from many countries in Europe (e.g. Portugal, Italy, Spain, The Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland). Among the invited guests are: Fr. Janusz Sok CSsR – Provincial of Warsaw Province of Redemptorists, Fr. Jacek Zdrzałek CSsR – Coordinator of The Conference of Redemptorists of Europe, and also Redemptorists who are taking part in special Month of Renewal before their perpetual vows and who are ten years professed or ordained, in Tuchów.
The participants meet with the people who are responsible for the preparation of World Youth Day in Cracow 2016. They discuss about the special participation of Redemptorist’s Youth from around the world in direct activities preceding this gathering.
During the feast of St. Alphonsus Liguori (the founder of the Redemptorists – 1 of August) the participants will conduct the special evangelization on the streets of Krakow. That day in the evening all members will take part in the Prayer of Praise and Thanks with the witnesses of the personal experience of the presence and power of the Holy Spirit and with the evangelization in the Church of Our Lady of Perpetual Help in Cracow. This meeting will be also one part of the preparation to the special jubilee of the 150th anniversary of taking over of the Icon of Our Lady of Perpetual Help by the Pope Pius IX to Redemptorists.
