The religious component as an integral part of the whole program for both students and teachers has already been mentioned. Each day begins with a morning prayer. Taize prayer takes places before dinner. A voluntary prayer group is often organized by students and teachers. On Wednesdays and Sundays ESS community gathers for the Liturgy. The volunteers who actively participate in the spiritual life of the program will experience the real presence of the Holy Spirit, a renewed sense of God’s love and what it means to follow Christ.
