At the end of November and together with LIBERTY Galati and the Church “Saint Apostle Andrew and Saint Nicholas” Galati (Romania), the GFG Foundation Romania celebrated the 20th anniversary of the consecration of the Church located at the steelworks.

The day before St. Andrew’s Day, HE Archbishop Casian officiated a blessing service for the workers on LIBERTY Galati steel platform and hold a service of remembrance in honour of our deceased colleagues. The event celebrates the 30th anniversary of the proclamation of St. Andrew the Apostle as the patron saint of Galati, the 20th anniversary of the founding of the Church and the 10th anniversary of the involvement of the LIBERTY Galati volunteer group in Galati community causes. The priests blessed the volunteers and  the GFG Foundation Students from the Paul Dimo High School participating in the dual education programme who took part in the event.

Started in the summer of this year, the painting works at the “Saint Andrew the Apostle and Saint Nicholas” Church are nearing completion. These works were financially and logistically supported by LIBERTY Galati, the GFG Foundation, in partnership with the “Lower Danube” Archdiocese, the Galati City Hall and the State Secretariat for Cults. The painting was made in a special fresco technique using special mineral materials, which integrate with the wall on which it is applied and thus ensure the images a lifetime of hundreds of years. Painting the Church is part of a wider program of community involvement that includes social, educational and philanthropic projects.
