For this reason, there will be a church collection for those affected by the floods on Sunday, September 29. If you would like to contribute to the public collections, there are currently fundraising campaigns ongoing at Doniu, People in Need, Charity, and many other places...

I would like to remind you that it is still possible to join the preparation for receiving the sacrament of confirmation. The preparation takes place every week after the holy mass at the Club; just come, and we will arrange the details later. This month is traditionally dedicated to the prayer of the rosary in Catholic tradition, which is also highlighted by the memorial of Our Lady of the Rosary on October 7. We can incorporate this prayer more frequently into our schedules.

In the week of September 29, we will have a altar server meeting on Monday at 5:00 PM in the Church of the Holy Family. There will be no online Bible study this week. On Thursday at 6:45 PM, there will be a lecture by Angelo Scaran on the topic: How to Read the Holy Scripture Effectively. On Friday at 5 PM, there will be an adoration of the Eucharist in the Church of the Holy Family. The collection next Sunday is designated to support church education. Next Sunday after the holy mass, I invite you to the Church of the Holy Family for a performance by actor Jan Horák titled – František the Fool. I would like to thank everyone who participated in organizing the Parish Picnic and also for the demonstration of bird trapping last Sunday.

In the week of October 6, there will exceptionally be no holy mass at St. Martin's Church on Tuesday, nor will there be an online meeting due to an all-day program at our monastery.
