Nov. 9:
Our friend from Austria Elisabeth wrote us a mail that she is contributing to an orphanage in Kiev, which is run by a catholic priest "Vater Viktor Simon". With the address, we find out that he is at THE catholic church in town. They have services in Ukrainian, Russian, Polish. One Sunday per month there is a kids' prayer.
Every Sunday, they offer also a service in French, but in a smaller chapel in a Jesuit outpost that happens to be close to where we live.

The German speaking community seems to be smaller, as they only gather every second week in another chapel. So we decide to go and join the French Community on Sunday.
We meet quite a few people from the school, class-mates of Nathalie and Isabelle and their parents.
Important remark: The priest has a certain accent ... afterwards, when seeing his car in the backyard, we find out why ... as in all of Europe, Catholic church seems to work only by the help of Polish priests!!
