·5 min

The episode begins with host Alberto Averoldi introducing the GREST 2026 presentation event scheduled for March 21, 2026, at the Oratorio di Buffalora in Brescia. He then interviews Giacomo Baronchelli from the Oratorio Bresciani Center. Giacomo describes the presentation as a traditional diocesan appointment where priests, guides, and coordinators will learn about the GREST 2026 theme, subsidization, materials, history, music, dances, and chants. He mentions that materials and gadgets will be made available for use with children and young people during the summer. Giacomo highlights that GREST is a major event for hundreds of families and thousands of children and animators, though few realize the extensive design and preparation work involved. He notes that this preparation begins months in advance, providing a fertile stage for future animators to strengthen bonds with friends and the oratory community. Giacomo clarifies that the Oratory Office does not deal only with GREST, but the GREST project is a regional effort involving collaboration among nine of the ten Lombard dioceses. He explains that the process starts in the summer of the previous year, with planning for the next GREST beginning as early as June. This effort is supported by young orators from the diocese who create materials at a regional level. Giacomo emphasizes that GREST offers three weeks during summer to engage animators in ways not possible during the school year, as children are often busy with academics and sports. He reiterates the event details, including the date, time, and location. The episode concludes with thanks and farewells between Alberto and Giacomo.
