On Saturday, 7 December 2019, Deacon Adrian Sorin Mihalache offered the Düsseldorf parishioners an experiential workshop on attention. The workshop provided a complex reflection on the meaning of attention and how it can enhance a person’s quality of life in many aspects. For ten hours, participants engaged in practical activities that deepened their understanding of the importance of attention in daily and spiritual life.

On Sunday, 8 December 2019, Deacon Adrian Sorin Mihalache participated in the Divine Liturgy in the Düsseldorf parish and gave a special homily at the end of the service. He then rejoiced together with everyone present at the traditional St. Nicholas celebration that the children of the Düsseldorf parish organize each year for the second patronal feast.
