Pedro Arrupe’s Centre for the Education of Leaders and Educators in Warsaw Falenica is carrying out a project to support Catholic schools in the countries of the former Soviet bloc. As part of the activities undertaken, the Arrupe trainers conducted a training course in April in Drohobych, Ukraine, to prepare a team of educators to open a Catholic school in Drohobych, Ukraine. It will primarily serve children whose parents work outside the country, families of refugees from eastern Ukraine, and children finishing education in a Catholic pre-school.
Participants learned about various forms of fundraising and methods of promoting the future school. There is already a building (pictured below) which will be refurbished in the coming months. It will be expanded and then a boarding school will be built.
The fact that more Catholic schools in Ukraine will spring like mushrooms after rain is a joy. This year, the Arrupe trainers will train the pedagogical groups of four schools which want to become Catholic schools.
