we meet for the animated oratory about four times. the animators who participate are mostly also animators throughout the year during regular religious education... the oratory is a very welcome thing for parents because it ensures the care of their children. children from practically all over slovenia join - it's a good location for everyone who works in the center of ljubljana.
in our parish, the oratory was a project. a few meetings, execution, and that's it. this year we had it for the first time and we were very satisfied. if we continue with the oratory, we will organize the meetings earlier, with richer content, with professional assistance, much earlier. there are a lot of activities taking place in the parish, but none are related (in content, thematically) to the oratory.
connecting the entire parish; we meet every two weeks, and in the summer months, we also meet up to twice a week, the animators go to the sea for the weekend in the summer, and during the oratory, the animators sleep in the parish premises; the groups intertwine so that we are active in scouting, and from the oratory animators, we have also established confirmation groups, preparing the nativity scene.
throughout the year, we do not meet in the context of animator meetings (except before the oratory days), but at youth catechism, choir... the oratory is an important part of the holiday program that is offered to children not only by the parish but also by the community. practically, nothing else aimed at children happens in our area during the summer. at the same time, it gives young people the opportunity for activity, good company, belonging, and personal growth in faith.
the oratory plays a significant role for us. we organize two summer oratories, an autumn oratory, and oratory afternoons once a month.
the oratory project holds a very important place in our parish. when it comes to children and youth, the oratory represents probably the most important parish event for us. the main reason is primarily the positive response and willingness of all parishioners to help with the implementation of the oratory. certainly, the majority of the work is done by the animators. we are very satisfied with the project. we grow spiritually and personally, while also bringing true values closer to the children through play and conversation. more broadly, we also show parents and fellow villagers that this is indeed a very positive project. we meet often. before the oratory, we have about 5 longer meetings (starting at the end of march), followed by meetings of individual groups (songs & dances, stage, large games, opening & closing events...). the week before the oratory, we spend the weekend together, and the last two days before the start are usually dedicated to work activities (setting up the stage, transporting materials, etc.). the end of the oratory does not mean the end of animator meetings. we meet at various evenings (entertaining, creative, debating, etc.) and as a group, we also prepare st. nicholas day (a play for children upon the arrival of st. nicholas), carnival celebrations, and participate in other projects in the parish (mother's day, charity concerts). the boys organize some sports tournaments, and the girls organize a concert, etc.
the oratory is the largest project in our parish that involves young animators and participants. i am very satisfied with it, as it is a well-established organizing team, but it is always a new challenge, especially to recruit a sufficient number of animators. we meet from march onwards, initially every two weeks, and later every week. in addition to the oratory, we also organize an oratory day (one or two a year), a christmas mass, st. nicholas celebration, and we are working on revitalizing the youth group.
the oratory in our parish is successful every year, but we notice a constant and gradual decline in participants. we have it once a year. meetings take place from april onwards every two weeks, and as we get closer to the oratory, once a week.
the oratory plays an important role in the holiday activities. both the children and the animators are very satisfied, as evidenced by their numbers.
the oratory is actually the central event in the parish for both the youth (animators) and the children as participants. through the animator group, other activities in the parish have also begun to awaken - youth masses, bands, youth meetings...

as the leader of the animators, i am mainly with them during the preparations for the oratory, as i have been in another parish for a long time now. the animators know each other well. i know them from the time when i was with them as an animator during regular religious education, with the franciscan children and family vacations.
sometimes we demand too much from younger new animators (they increasingly view things from a fun perspective).
that organizing various activities throughout the year is one of the key aspects of maintaining the true rhythm of the animation team.
of course, now and then it happens that this exciting atmosphere fades, but it quickly improves. this kind of atmosphere especially applies to the time of the oratory and afterwards. we always connect into a truly solid group, which, however, soon falls apart again after the oratory; unfortunately, there is no way to keep it together.
the atmosphere intensifies and culminates at the end of the oratorio.
...some are quite "unserious" regarding attending meetings, etc. - they have "too many other commitments"...
we gather the right animation teams or groups, and animators directly in front of the oratory; until now, it has been a big problem to recruit local animators.
there is no inspiration among high school students, university students are quite too busy and already tired. those students who remain are very useful.
that it is necessary to listen to the animators, take their comments into account, and above all, inspire by example
the problem lies in taking responsibility. everyone wants something to happen to help, but no one wants to take the lead role, so it always falls on the same few, occasionally we 'push' someone into leadership, which is neither always bad nor good.
sometimes they need to be pushed; otherwise, i believe that most feel the responsibility they take on as animators, but there are also some individuals who are not very responsible.
the problem is the disconnection, where we currently cannot do much because i live in another place and throughout the year i cannot manage to lead the animation team.
they are in the eighth grade and included in the oratory, getting the opportunity to be helpers to the animators as ninth graders... then they slowly become animators.
we are still looking for the most effective recipe on how to obtain them
we obtain them through burmese groups
after the confirmation, we invite them to join us, and then we have a year-long school for animators with them.
older elementary school students have the opportunity to help us with the implementation of a specific project before entering high school - but only as a kind of assistants. for example: we prepare a game for st. nicholas, and they are tasked with changing the scene between scenes. additionally, for instance, at the oratory as part of "sleeping over" - one night older participants can spend the night at the oratory - they get a bit more opportunity to socialize with the animators. these are two examples where they get somewhat acquainted with the functioning of our group. it is true that some may come because of friends or an invitation, but mostly (and i am convinced that this is the best way) they join on their own. the priest announces that next week is the first meeting for the oratory and that everyone who would like to join the group is invited. consequently, it is so much nicer to observe the young people who have decided to come on their own, as this shows that they care and thus actively engage in the group.
i think that in our case it is a mix of all of the above. :)
we invite all new animators to the introductory meeting.
yes, primarily the leaders, but also the older animators. in the end, we can learn a lot from each other. for example: after the oratory, we conduct an extensive reflection (we discuss the pros and cons, what we liked, what we didn't); this year, the leaders received a note stating that one animator appreciated the thoughts of the older animators (during the preparations, we also had an extensive debate on the values of this year's catechesis). so, once again, the most important thing: example (and also conversation).
i could check it all off.
just a remark on the last option regarding this question: it might be better to say that the animator can become familiar with these values. i believe that today everyone has the opportunity to live christian values anywhere. the question is only how they are conveyed. the problem is not that they cannot be lived. often they are not explained enough, and above all, there is a lack of example in teaching and conveying. thus, the animator group can give meaning to these values for the animator through example and conversation in a way that the animator can live them everywhere, not just within the group. this somehow connects to question 4.a.
