By Natalia Bordilovskaya: A festive mass to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the episcopal ordination of Metropolitan of Minsk and Mogilev Tadeusz Kondrusiewicz will bring together priests from Lithuania, Poland, Russia and Ukraine.

The service of Bishop Tadeusz Kondrusiewicz is connected with the modern history of the three countries: Belarus, Lithuania and Russia. The Metropolitan of Minsk and Mogilev is a polyglot who speaks ten languages.

Kondrusiewicz believes the opening of seminaries in Grodno and St. Petersburg and a theological institute in Moscow, the return of the 97 churches confiscated during the militant atheism of the 20th century and the development of charity and the youth pilgrimage to be a special honour and welcomes the dialogue that is being established between the Orthodox and Catholic churches.
