Yesterday we had a guest from France - lady Martine Nisse and our colleagues from the organization "Bice" (International Catholic Child Bureau), Diana Filatova and Anna Herceg.
Martine told us about her work. She helps children who have experienced domestic violence and helps their families. The guys asked what she dreamed of in childhood. Martine dreamt to be an archaeologist to find the treasures of Pharaoh in Egypt. In the end, says Martin, she became a family archaeologist, and helps kids living in sadness to find the treasure inside their hearts and begin to live differently.
The 20th of November is celebrated world children's day.

16.11.2016 | The day of St. Elisabeth Thuringian

Dear friends, members and volunteers of Caritas in St. Petersburg!
Tomorrow, our Church celebrates the day of St. Elisabeth (Thuringian), which we consider to be the patron of works of charity and Caritas throughout the world. Unfortunately, I can't be with you and share the joy and celebration of this day, so I write this little letter for you from Murmansk, where I am temporarily located.
I want to thank God for all the people who, during these years of our existence, made a great contribution of warmth, tenderness, togetherness, comfort, and joy in the work of Caritas Saint-Petersburg. Especially, our employees, sisters and volunteers. And, of course, I thank and pray for those who are close to us with their solidarity, material support and prayer. Without them our activities would be less expressive and effective.
