It was on the evening of September 6th that many partners and friends gathered in the gardens of Collége Saint Michelle to wish well to the former JESC director, Fr. Peter Rožič. The first surprise was the wonderful Slovenian food and wine that Peter’s family had sent from his hometown. Everybody was then presented with some joyful folk songs sung by Peter (who also played the concertine!) and his brother Robin.

After, it was time for some words of farewell and thankfulness by fellow Jesuits (including Fr. Franck Janin, President of the Jesuit Conference of European Provincials), the entire JESC team, other lay friends responsible for partner organisations, and also some young European Leadership Programme (ELP) Fellows whom Peter directed. The evening ended with a short shared moment of prayer leaded by Peter, in thankfulness for all that has been achieved together during these last years in Brussels.
