Only live fish swim - even against the current
The Scalabrini International Spring Meeting 2019, aimed at young people, adults and families with their children, took place from May, 3rd to 5th at the International Centre "IBZ Scalabrini" (Internationales Bildungszentrum) in Solothurn, Switzerland.
There were about 300 participants of 32 nationalities - natives, migrants and refugees from different continents - united by the desire to live an experience of Church, where the variety of "colours", languages, cultures, ages and living conditions, together with the uniqueness of each person, can find room and be expressed in mutual service and fellowship.
The discussion took place in dialogue with the Bishop of Basel, His Exc. Mgr. Felix Gmür.
On Saturday afternoon, the Bishop Felix also presided over the Mass with all participants of the meeting in the Jesuit Church.
