It was organized by the Jesuits in the educational center run there. Lectures on the spirituality of the Church Fathers were given by Fr. Tomasz Ortmann SJ, superior of the Russian Region, and introductory classes on the Holy Scriptures of the New Testament were given by Fr. Tomas Garcia-Huidobro SJ from the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome. Ignatian spirituality was discussed by Fr. Mikhail Tkalich SJ, who will begin his pastoral ministry in Belarus at the end of August, and Christianity in the context of various world religions was presented by Fr.
