The student Maria Veronica Gogan from the Secondary School „Nicolae Labiș” from Mălini, thanked the Archdiocese of Suceava and Rădăuților for this initiative and for the opportunity to be at Putna Monastery on the feast day: August 15, 2023 was for me, a wonderful, unforgettable day, full of emotion and enthusiasm, spent in a corner of heaven, where Stephen the Great reigns in peace. This would not have been possible if people with big hearts had not also turned their thoughts to the little ones, pupils who managed to achieve outstanding results in the hurdles at the end of middle and high school in the school year that has just ended. Thank you to everyone who gave us these special moments, full of smiles and immeasurable joy. Thank you for your appreciation and esteem, for your increased trust in God and in your own powers, for the holy and uplifting prayer in which we participated. My heartfelt thanks to His Eminence Calinic, Archbishop of Suceava and Rădăuților for the extraordinary initiative, for the beautiful moments that he has given us, for the dedication and interest he has shown in education and the students dedicated to it, and for the fact that he has chosen such an important moment to highlight this success. Last but not least, thank you for the valuable distinction I have received. It is quite difficult to express in words the joy I felt when the holy chant of the priests met the applause of the sea of believers in front of us, in a breathtaking place, on a day full of light, at Putna Monastery.
Also, Ms. Beatrice Juravle, a graduate of the „Eudoxiu Hurmuzachi” National High School and of the National Baccalaureat Exam with an average of 10, said: It was a beautiful experience, my first time at Putna Monastery. I liked the way everything was organized, the attention to detail and the program that took place. The atmosphere was very pleasant and the people I met - benevolent and happy to help. Of course, I can only wholeheartedly congratulate the Archdiocese of Suceava and Rădăuților for this initiative which motivates young people to achieve good results. I personally was very pleased to see such great interest in education. I not only received gifts but also a wonderful memory.
Finally, we would like to thank His Most Reverend Father Calinic, Archbishop of Suceava and Rădăuților, who blessed this endeavor and conferred the Order of St. Great Martyr John the New from Suceava to the 19 awarded students.
