At the beginning Metropolitan celebrated the Holy Mass in the town of Radashkovichy (Maladziechna district). He reminded that 17 years ago with the current dean priest prelate Edmund Daunilovich-Navicki and local believers he used to return the Church of Radashkovichy back to the believers since it was then one of the buildings of the plant “Belarusian ceramics”. Nowadays the Church of Radashkovichy where once Janka Kupala was baptised is renovated and little reminds of the times of decadence.
Later Archbishop Tadeusz Kondrusievicz celebrated the Holy Mass in the overcrowded Church of Saint Jusaf in Maladziechna. After the Holy Mass Metropolitan met children and the youth and shared the Holy Bread with them.
In the evening Metropolitan took part in the Christmas meeting with children and the youth in the village of Ludvinava (parish Kascianievichy, Vilejka deanery), which was organised by Sisters Nazarethenians. Tadeusz Kondrusievicz congratulated everyone on the Holiday of God’s Birth and New Year and wished God’s joy and success. This meeting which included different contests, songs and dancing was very useful for the youth and children- they saw how one could have fun in a Christian way.
