Fan Noli Library & Cultural Center
Boston, MA
Life School of New York, NY
Introduction:
In the beginning, there was only a cross-cultural bridge event conceived to get launched by the Fan Noli Library cultural center. Within months, days, and hours the meeting happened to extend as a multilayered well-organized venue when many dimensions were simultaneously activated: history, religion, education, culture, hospitality, local community, global networking, mission-driven business, new quantum energy, and spiritual synchronicities.
According to recent research from the Harvard Review paper on organizational culture, that sounded present to our Institution prime approach to build a business bridge with Life School of New York:
“A well-defined organizational culture can provide employees with a shared purpose and can help a company thrive.” (14) The company was the Life School of Elona Lopari in New York.
The same research shows that “leading with culture may be one of the only strategies left that companies could use today to gain a sustained competitive advantage.” (15)
Regarding our many years of cultural events at Saint George, then once the culture is well defined and organized it brings other elements to the master plan. But there were more to come as a ‘non-expected factor’ we never had planned. That might have been the spiritual gift from the space where the event will have taken place.
At 11:11 am the room was enveloped by interlayers of subtle energies previously collected from the tour at the main church and the Fan Noli Library. The spiritual energy seemed to strengthen neurons of new connections moving up and down within 517 building before the network meeting even started at the Chancery floor.
To our hosts, this state was perceived as a spiritual experience of higher consciousness, and to our guests from New York, it was both an honoring visit and network meeting with a vision of mission-driven to officially build the bridge between the Life School of New York and the Fan Noli and Saint George Cathedral in Boston.
Since the Saint George stage was already sensed as the oldest Albanian American home for all guests, the goal and intention were that everybody invited to the event could find him/herself truly connected and realized in the context of the sacrality of space; with the mean of ‘lingua culture’ and ‘mission-driven business’ in relationship to the world and to others. That sounded like synchronization of energies was happening to effortlessly bring inside the 4 D new addition of time/space to a 3 D from outside world business meeting. We just observed it when working and it was such an interesting new feeling never experienced before. Even our hypothesis of the first research paper was outsmarted in the terrain of ethnographic new configurations.
When the two ‘lingua culture’ variations can bump into a multilayered energetic environment, the outcome can bring a much larger spectrum of energies than any expected event thrown in a sole ‘lingua culture’ context. (16)
In that point of view, extra waves of connectedness felt familiar between each one of us as Albanian Americans, from the old colony to newcomers within the 4 D context of Saint George’s and Fan Noli Library’s vibrations. And it seemed that a myriad of subtle energies and code-switching impact was acting to restore the collective memory of a legit bridge between two entities blessed by the Hosts of the sacred space and time as a first for a networking event. But we had to wonder and follow the suite of interactions as the event went on. Where all features and vibrations of a new level of consciousness in relationship between the Hosts and Guests at the emotional, professional, and spiritual levels were into play.
First Things First: Saint George’s Legacy and Fan Noli’s Library’s Mission
The icebreaking moment became palpable through strong emotions of the Saint George’s introduction speech of Lauren Toli – Gregory the main host of the event and generational Albanian American community of Bishop Fan Noli’s time, churches, and people.
“I grew up here in Boston in a proud Albanian American family. My grandparents came here from Albania to make a better life for those that would come after them. I serve on the Board of Advisors of St. George Cathedral, I’m happy to be supported today by my wonderful husband Michael and daughter Jordan.
On behalf of the St. George community, I welcome you all to our Cathedral. As you know this Cathedral has a long history as the center of the Albanian American community in Boston. However, that position isn’t due to a building – in fact this wasn’t St. George’s first home. Our religious and social life centers on St. George due to community that gathers, with our shared love of our Albanian heritage.”
In the realm of ‘lingua culture’ and so diverse subtle energies data as an observant participant of the event, we tried to also catch many different features and vibrations from all host-guest interaction time /space during the event.
In the speech of Lauren Toli- Gregory, although the lingua part could be preserved in a few Albanian words inherited from her grandparents’ time, her attachment to her ancestors’ culture and soul, hard work, and prosperity were explicitly delivered as a professional in the Financial Corporation as well right to the point at the right time and place and to the right audience.
“Our success is built on those who came before, and there are many of those. Their stories inspire us, in our business and personal lives. There are many organizations and individuals who bring people together across our community and do good work advancing the next generation. Here at St. George, we felt the impact of a man we honored in June for his fifty years of service to our community, Father Arthur Liolin. I’m especially happy that we will have the opportunity to further mark Fr. Arthur’s contribution by viewing the wonderful documentary prepared by a great teamwork on behalf of Fan Noli Library.
I’d like to give you just one example of the mark Albanian Americans have made. Many of you may remember Anthony Athanas, arguably one of the most successful Albanian Americans of all time. In fact, we’re gathered in a room named after him and his family, a testament to their generosity to this Cathedral and our community. Anthony built a restaurant empire, with Pier 4 rising to become the highest grossing restaurant in the country. A sign of his genius comes in a story from his early days. Anthony would invite taxi drivers to Pier 4 for a free lunch. His idea was a brilliant one – that when the drivers picked up a passenger at the airport or train station and were asked about a good restaurant in the city, they would wholeheartedly recommend Pier 4. That was the genius of Anthony Athanas, a man who came from our community but left a much wider mark with his good work. I have no doubt that many such stories are being written today, by people in this room. The energy that you bring to your endeavors in the outside world makes everyone in our community proud.”
After pouring kind words on our address, at the end rooted by her mission-driven tradition she emphasized that “we are all here to keep our Bishop Theophan Noli’s spirit alive and provide for a way to memorialize and study his works in religion, literature, music, and history. I don’t think I’m wrong in saying that the Noli’s Library managed by Neka is the foremost location for the study of Fan Noli’s life, in or out of Albania. Your presence here shows your support of the good work of the Noli Library. That work depends on donations, so I also ask you to show your financial support to allow the library to continue its mission into the future. Thank you.”
With a few Albanian salutation formulas Lauren also had officially opened the event, sealed the intention for the bridge, and electrified the floor with her Gamma & Beta energetic speech, that we were trying to moderate through more Alpha- Beta than Gamma vibes while introducing the program of the day in both Albanian and English.
A Cross-Cultural Networking Remoted and Real in a 4 D New Addition
Our organizer and moderator role were to introduce in the ‘here and now’ a few virtual connections from friends of the Fan Noli Library and cultural center from outside the space who we thought would bring more diversity and synchronicity to our networking first cross-cultural and energetic meeting.
Max McKenna virtual intervention from Montreal was another interesting case of the cross ‘lingua culture’ and subtle energies that entered the room from the dimension of the 4th entered space from ‘out of the box.’ That was our vision of an open networking meeting between Fan Noli Library, Life School and a Bootcamp North American Educational Program experienced in Tirana Albania by a non-Albanian speaker and collaborator to the Fan Noli Library website in Boston. McKenna testified again through his video that he is yet culturally, spiritually, and practically anchored to help with networking education many business-oriented young people in Albania.
Loreta Stamo, another Albanian great friend and networking contributor to the Fan Noli Library projects in years who virtually had featured a brief but impressive video in English from New York made the perfect case of a successful culturally Americanized businesswoman through her long experience of interesting advice and insights in the field.
Precisely at 11:30, I was personally pleased to introduce our Honoring Guest to the event from New York the Life School Founder and CEO Elona Lopari, who had delegated her idea to launch a networking meeting with our community in Boston since September 2021.
An idea we were able to manage to turn into a Saint George Cathedral and Fan Noli library plan for a multidimensional event.
Her speech without script was clearly focused on the Importance of Networking for a Mission Driven Entrepreneurship in our Albanian American community.
“According to the law of probabilities the greater the number of people you network with at any given time, the more likely it is that you will know the right person at the right time and in the right place to provide you with help and support needed at the time. The more people you know the more doors of opportunity will be open to you and the sounder advice you will get in making the important decisions that shape your life.”
We could all feel that Elona’s drive of energy at the best Gammas- Betas of her day was reaching the top of the hill.
“Have you ever heard the saying; it is not what you know but who you know?
Networking is super important in today’s business world. To succeed you must rely on others. Do you want to meet people who are ahead of you in their careers and their organizations? One of the best ways to start networking is to go to someone you admire and ask for their advice. Don’t rush or hurry, just let the networking relationship flow…”
The atmosphere was positively overcharged and turned exactly into what we wanted guests to feel like being at Saint George’s community. The natural flow of participants’ questions and Elona’s answers fueled at the end of the meeting the clear intention to build the bridge with one another while bringing the best of each one to the networking experience.
The saying that there is a first time for everything, took a significant sense of purpose at the end of the meeting. Once the Life School- Fan Noli Library bridge was born at Saint George, at the historic Noli’s church and the forever Albanian American first home in Boston, the approach for mission-driven entrepreneurship between two institutions was initiated and seeded for the first time by women from the Albanian community of New York and Boston. That alone would have made Bishop Noli as an exemplary promotor of women’s role in Saint George, feel honored and proud.
Subtle Energies from New and Unheard Voices
In return, on behalf of Life School honored guests, Elona invited all “If you do join our school, it broadens your perspective and opens doors of opportunity for you and your career, and it can be one of the most exciting and fulfilling experiences of your life.”
Our next level of networking meeting seemed to anticipate and well suited with what so far had been discussed and advised. Personally, I was humbled to introduce next, Krenar Konomi, for years a multimillion company CEO here in Massachusetts. I have met with him through Fr Arthur’s introduction at Saint George in the mid-Christmas time around 10 years ago. I never forgot his integrity and thrive for excellence I saw in him in the first place. Since then, I had been in touch with him through LinkedIn space or thanks to a very few reconnections at Saint George over the years. This time I thought he would have answered our invitation since he was a top networking and mission-driven entrepreneur and integrated person from the Albanian American new generation of cross-culturally open-minded businessmen. Considering his tight schedule, no one could believe that he and his wife Elisa would have right away answered our invitation on behalf of Saint George and Fan Noli Library. When I talked about that with Lauren at the time, she was so grateful and excited that we could approach this group of talented people to our event. With such energetic blessings of synchronicity between hosts and guests, without high expectations, all worked at best this first time. We couldn’t have been more thankful and touched by the kind of positive outcome since the beginning. Krenar Komoni had it all. Elona was humbled, impressed, and very much inspired by the quality of professionalism and integrity in the networking participation of Saint George’s guests. Our organizational meeting goals and vision were then fully reached and half away accomplished.
For illustrating the timing, and the sensitivity either in the realm of energies or the outreach of the event, we have selected a few participants’ reactions on the spot. Rafaela Prifti, Dielli’s English editor, a world-class cooperator of the Fan Noli Library, and our archival research projects who came the same day from New York to be part of the networking meeting and documentary would have had pointed out at her arrival.
“By the time I got in, the meeting was underway. It meant that I had missed the first speakers. I caught the presentation of Krenar Komoni, founder and CEO of Tiva, a multi-million-dollar family company. He got visibly emotional when he spoke about his birthplace, Kosovo. In my mind, it defined the framework for the entire event in terms of the human aspect of the business world. The topic of human connections was explored invariably during the work sessions and even the luncheon intermission.
The more the organizer Neka Doko and guests examined it, the more I appreciated the overtone of the whole experience, namely embracing vulnerability, or the risk of an uncertain step, a yet unknown future, as a sign of strength and source of courage.”
On the other hand, here is what Krenar Komoni’s wife Elisa had felt and sent to us after the event.
“I was very happy to be part of this meeting and to meet other hardworking people, especially from outside of Massachusetts who desire to become successful contributors to our community and the world. The synergy in this room made me proud to be an Albanian-American. I am excited that the Fan Noli Church is well-organized and reaching Albanians nationwide.
I know first-hand what it means to be a migrant. Both my parents were highly educated in Albania, one being a professor and the other a Director of Finance, however, both had to change professions to be able to support the family. And their only wish was for their children to achieve the American dream, therefore they invested heavily in our education. Having heard the stories of other Albanians like myself, reminded me of our sacrifices for our achievements and as a result, I feel deeply connected to my community.
Our family’s company, “Tive,” was founded on exactly the hardworking, iron-willed, and humble principles we were brought up to have as Albanians. And as a family we have had a chance to do what we love, teach our children the principles of hard work and contribute to society in a positive way. Mother Teresa’s words come to mind “It’s not about how much you do but how much love you put into what you do that counts”.
Thank you again for inviting us to this wonderful meeting. I had fun visiting parts of the church I have never seen before, met with exciting people, and realized that our church and organization is the backbone of our community, and it continues to play a crucial role in our lives. Great job to you! The meeting was well-organized.
Happy Holidays! I try to participate in as many Albanian driven activities as possible. Thank you for all you do.
Elisa
And then, there is Julia Japo, a young Albanian American girl born in Boston from the Korca’s immigrants’ new generation of the after the 1990s who has learned her mother tongue early from her grandmother when growing up here. While entirely educated here she has been fluent both in English and Albanian. Julia makes a very special case of a self-aware bilingual and code-switching speaker for her generation. I happened to meet with her for the first time in 2009 at Saint George introduced by her mother Lily, and again in 2021 at the hall of Saint George as a 20-year-old student at Emmerson college here in Boston. She happily responded yes to us when volunteering to our event next to me for the digital operation of the program and virtual presentations she inserted with efficiency. Here are some interesting thoughts Julia wrote down in both languages about her introduction and what she felt being part of this first experience for her.
“Growing up in the United States, my parents always made sure I was exposed to the Albanian culture. This ranged from teaching me the beautiful Albanian language, to the endless dances, and the classic Albanian music, but most of all, they instilled in me the Albanian mentality of being a hard worker and always fighting for what I believe in. At this event, I was able to learn more about Fan S. Noli and his contributions to the Albanian community in the United States. When I walked into the Fan S. Noli library, seeing the history surrounding me as well as all the books Noli has written about his sacrifices and pavements that he has made in Boston encapsulated me. Noli, coming from a different country, worked hard and pursued his dreams in a new land all the while being able to establish the Albanian Orthodox church in Boston, Massachusetts. Hearing and reading the endless stories about Noli made me even prouder of my heritage and that much more determined to make sure that the Albanian community continues to strive and persevere here in the United States. It was amazing to see how far Albanians have come and how large of a footprint they have made in this country. Just like Noli, I believe that with hard work, anything is achievable, and nothing is impossible.”
Hospitality in Boxes: Homemade Organic Food with Traditional Albanian, Cross- Cultural Cuisine and Soul Service
To all hosts and guests, the break after the session of networking meeting was planned to offer their free time and accommodated space to move through the reception floor and just be themselves. And then enter the kitchen area for enjoying launch and opportunities for making new connections. Each meal was freshly homemade and organically prepared, based on three different choices out of the grass feed meats of lamb and chicken and wild-caught salmon. A rich Mediterranean salad that was prepared with love and mastery by our family Chef Klajdi Doko along with the pre-selected meat all garden’s herb marinated and home cooked in advance were boxed in recycling paper containers from Whole Food stores. Followed by the Albanian Pie traditional of the Saint George’s community and two deserts homemade organic ones, all boxed and set at the kitchen table ready for picking up and enjoying.
Two of our Life School members of Boston, Valbona Lavdari and Silva Hani were fully engaged before and after the meeting to help Bardha Plaku pack the barely hot meats and pie directly from the oven to organic containers. Our cousin Bona handled with high speedy moves, focus and efficiency for evenly distributing the salad scoops in boxes where the meat was placed. Silva had to cut her own handmade dessert a traditional Albanian cake into pieces for each sweet little box and hand with a smiling face to every guest in the room. The same way she shared her simple dessert recipe with all who were eager to know.
Meanwhile observing the freshly organic and deliciously made, and packed meals, we could have briefly stopped by all invited guests when double-checking that everyone had it all.
The atmosphere of an Albanian American and cross-cultural culinary feast reminded me of subtle sequences from the ‘radiant circuits’ energies coming out of memory collections from the French Food Festivals of Bourgogne in the early Fall of 1998. The difference here was made by the choice of self-service, the farther away from the French table of cultural rituals, the closer to the Albanian tradition and spirit in America.
What we had experienced was a strong cohesion with the soul of volunteers who served and empowered their spirit, throughout the event. The loyalty and commitment among Life School and Fan Noli Cultural Library people were manifested through joy, high performance, and promptness to the true hospitality of Saint George. To our sensations, such soul based on the Albanian ritual of honoring the guests, the direct blessings would have come anytime from Saint George where either religious or spiritual service quality and excellence are abundant.
Furthermore, the energy of synchronization has brought up another aspect of post networking day. During the time of harmony between lunch break and free interaction while everyone was enjoying traditions of homemade meals along with new networking free connectedness an interesting state of synergy had been produced. And then, the synchronization of positive energies seemed to fuel the environment with more awareness of empathy, creativity, and social effectiveness.
As the psychologist and author of Insight (2017) Tasha Eurich had pointed out in the Harvard Business Review in 2018 “in a highly connected energy synchronization, our brain harmony or integrity achieve a state when working in a more congruent way, it is adopting a more global perspective. That happens because when people with greater self-awareness are more confident, make sounder decisions, build stronger relationships and communicate more effectively.” (17)

The 50th Anniversary of the Fan Noli Library Documentary
The second part of the event emphasized two aspects of this empowered venue: the historic Golden Anniversary of the Fan Noli Library through archival research in a digital documentary and the presence of the Very Rev. Arthur Liolin, Chancellor Emeritus of the Orthodox Albanian Archdiocese and Saint George Cathedral.
The historic anniversary of the Fan Noli Metropolitan Library while revering Fr Arthur’s presence was planned to be celebrated by a digital documentary.
Meanwhile, a brief greeting video directed to Very Rev. Arthur Liolin from Prishtina, delivered with a lot of pathos came in virtually on time to be featured before the documentary by a Fan Noli Library friend, author, several books donator after being graduated in Feminine Theology from Yale in the late 90’ s a leader global woman who had met Fr Arthur in person, during the civil war crisis of 1999. Her moving tone and content honored his unshakable support during hard times. Her name is Ganimete Pashoja Myftiu. She is a Life School member also and keeps playing for years a crucial role as a social media spiritual educator and researcher. That video was a pleasant surprise and gift to Father Arthur’s day.
And then the moment for the 50th anniversary of Fan Noli Library foundation via virtual presentation has arrived. While evaluating the institution’s legacy and paying tribute to Father Arthur’s role as the founder and Executive Director for more than half a century the historic, participants’ nonverbal vibes communicated with us when watching the documentary. They said later that all was meticulously arranged and produced through a chronological line of bilingual and cross-cultural data, and Bora’s narrator text and voice sounded original and well suited with music, visual motion figures, and techniques.
Although the final version of it has not seen the light of digital copyright publication yet, the historic, archival research data and credits of the documentary remain intact in their contemporary records.
Great teamwork, of archival and digital coproduction, was made by people of Saint George and the Fan Noli Library who simultaneously contributed and produced the documentary on time fulfilling first the event’s purposeful presentation while planning a long-term project of the library- archive and future copyright publishing work.

However, all of this wouldn’t have been possible without the steady assistance of Evans Liolin, the sole son of Father Arthur, a discreet subtle person, whom we had the honor to closely work side by side during the collection of family photos and preparation of the documentary. We have been amazed by his gentle approach to giving the hand when needed and great piece of advice.
By the way, Evans took the exclusive photo of the day when participants wished they were all included in the group photo minutes before they left the floor. After the event, he graciously answered yes to our archival request about his thoughts on the event organization and outcome on behalf of the Liolin’s family.
Here is the letter Evans Liolin heartfeltly wrote and have sent to us before we submitted the first part of Dielli’s article.
“Thank you for including me in your preparations for the 50th Anniversary of the Fan Noli Library. From our phone planning, lunch meetings, and video sessions at the family home, to our shopping adventure acquiring boxes and foodstuffs, I was deeply impressed by the planning and care you put into the experience for each person.
Your documentary was professional, concise, loving, and touched upon important milestones, something my sisters and I appreciate as much as our parents. Though I know you’d like to refine the film further, your effort and the event were perfect. Bravo!
In a small gathering, you assembled a range of talents. The afternoon was at once intimate and celebratory, hinting at future growth for our Albanian community, built from a foundation of immigrants, both old and new. I witnessed again, a handful of the many Albanians who value what my father has done for us all. It’s neither the number of people impacted, nor the breadth of his reach, though those are certainly notable, but rather the quality and sincerity of his contributions that resonate so powerfully.
As important, your efforts as guardian of the Fan Noli Library similarly reflect the full expression of talent in our broader community.
Thank you! “

Pouring Gratitude and Future Investments for the Fan Noli Library.
Minutes before leaving Boston for New York visibly humbled and pleased the Lopari’s couple paid their dues, the way Elona would have put it while submitting the envelopes to the Archdiocese Administration Assistant desk.
The first part came in on behalf of the Life School participation in the event. And the second went to remunerate our monthly energy classes first salary I had considered donating to the Fan Noli Library. It was quite a moment of correctness and of gratitude evenly shared in person between the CEO and the Life School Energy Trainer during their first financial interaction after remoted hard work.
The only couple who filled their absence with dignity since couldn’t make it because of the Covid while representing at best the mission of Saint George’s Trustee and organizer for the event was Mathew and Susan Sotir. Right after a sincere apologetic email, they wrote and sent a generous check to support the event and future investments for the Fan Noli Library projects.
Another powerful couple who thanked us many times, and who before leaving the floor reminded us of, they will be the first to invest in the next event, was Krenar and Elisa Komoni.
Last but not the least voice to give the best they had, was Faton Limani and his wife Gerta Uruçi. They were both fully engaged with passionately working for years to establish and maintain their Albanian School projects in Boston. They believed in Saint George and Fan Noli Library community and always confirmed that will be there to support us.
In the end, Frankli Zdruli deeply appreciated the way the event was organized and thanked us for the special day, he enjoyed and unfortunately his wife had missed it. On behalf of the Saint Mary’s church and the Albanian community of Worcester, he reminded us of the rewording partnership of the Fan Noli Library during 2022 undergoing work for the Worcester Historical Museum Photo Exhibit. A new project he is being proud of as the first digital of the old urban Albanian community history and display of Worcester to be recorded in Massachusetts and in the States.
Conclusions:
In the first part of this article, we were focused on renewing our Interdisciplinary studies and cross-cultural communication research which have been our field of predilection since the late ’90s.
There, I was more curious to experiment with two concepts, i.e., Code Switching & Subtle Energy originated from Cross-cultural Linguistics (late 80’s -) and Spiritual Education (2010- ) two realms of my own studies and research curriculum. Whereas the most interesting part came when we went to apply that in ‘real situ’ and when more of the unexpected ‘spiritual and mission-driven factor’ data were transcending the meeting atmosphere. The ‘awe’ of subtle energies happened to go beyond the scope of this research paper.
In the second part, the welcoming of the 4 D addition to a 3 D networking meeting floor happened to entail more variations of spiritual synchronicity between the first part and the second part which made this paper a nonlinear work to write about a multidimensional Day.
Sometimes in life, in the local or global business corporation world, that nowadays seem to corroborate more and more with scientific researching data, educational, spiritual, and cultural institutions built from the core values of communities there is success and setbacks, and then progress with precaution, growth, and wisdom as the best taken away lessons from the experiences. However, it must be a time and space for new comebacks that honor the vision and seal the mission inspired by the oldest and historic Albanian American community in the States. This is exactly what happened here. In this paper context, the historic religious, spiritual, educational, and cultural institutions of Saint George and the Fan Noli Library played the Host of a Sacred Place where were invited home in the first weekend of November 2021 the founders of the Life School of New York, a new community of education and business academy created and invested by a successful MBA couple Elona and Jimmy Lopari, with the aim to start and officiate building the bridge between two entities.
The day happened to bring the best out of everything and everyone. History, legacy, hospitality, networking, and mission-driven momentums and new connections and memories for a better future in many fields.
In such an interesting context, some new firsts arrived to bring light and joy to the community.
The event was baptized to be planned and realized from A to Z as feminine.
Although initiated, organized, and directed by women, the men’s presence, role, and power were pivotal and honored as the head and providers of family in duty, all acting with alertness and creative state of mind from the beginning to the end.
The presence of the Very Rev. Arthur Liolin the Prime Honoring Host of the Place for celebrating together the 50th anniversary of the Fan Noli Library institution that he founded and directed for more than 50 years was another venerating first-time factor event.
The event was also the first multidimensional business and educational venue between a mission-driven company of New York in relationship with the Fan Noli Library that has happened at Saint George in Boston.
In the realm of quantum physics, the synchronicity of subtle energies and three spiritual numbers made a first appearance as 11:11, 2:22 and 4:44 we randomly saw during the event from the start of the meeting speech to the moment when all guests left the floor and then the final number when my family and I left the building after cleaning up and putting everything away.
As a community and family-oriented event all came together thanks to members, couples, friends, and colleagues of both communities who were there to pick up ideas, back up, support, encourage, uplift, and celebrate unified, making it a first in-person interlocal and global coming back event after the pandemic isolation of the recent years at Saint George community.
