Dear brothers and sisters, we have entered the Advent season, during which we revive the expectation of Christ's second coming. A time characterized by preparation for Christmas in both spiritual and material dimensions.

Dear brothers and sisters, we have entered the month of November, which is usually dedicated to our memories and prayers for those who have gone before us into eternity.

Dear brothers and sisters, for the month of October, the measures against COVID will remain in the same form as in September (masks and respirators remain recommended for up to 10 participants in the service, mandatory for more than 10 participants, hand disinfection, and a distance of 1.5 meters between participants in the service) and can be viewed on the website of the Ministry of Health. For this reason, the arrangement of our services will remain as before.

Dear brothers and sisters, in the month of September we will primarily celebrate the 1100th anniversary of the martyrdom of St. Ludmila, whose celebration will culminate in a pilgrimage at Tetín on September 18, with the highlight being a Mass at 11 o'clock.

Dear brothers and sisters, we have entered the time of holidays and vacations, so I wish you that you may be granted the needed rest during this time. This week, there will be no changes in the worship schedule.

Dear brothers and sisters, this week the school year will end and the holiday season will begin. Consequently, parish activities will also transition to a holiday mode. There will be no online class this week, which usually takes place on Wednesdays at 8:30 PM.

Dear brothers and sisters, the school year is coming to an end and with it the holiday and vacation season approaches. In our parish, the preparation of children for their first reception of the Eucharist will culminate this week, and next Sunday the children will receive the sacrament of the Body and Blood of Christ for the first time. We can remember them in our prayers, but also by our example of receiving Christ and living in His presence.

Dear brothers and sisters, we are gradually approaching the holiday season. During this time, operations will be somewhat more relaxed: there will be no online Bible classes or catechism lessons. I am working to ensure replacements so that Masses can take place without restrictions; however, it may happen that some weekday Masses cannot be covered. Therefore, please always check the current schedule of services here on the website, which I publish a week in advance and it should contain the most up-to-date information.

Dear brothers and sisters, on Sunday, June 6, we will celebrate the Feast of the Body and Blood of Christ in our parish. Since the 12th century, especially in connection with the visions of the nun Juliana of Liège, there has been a desire to commemorate the gift of the Eucharistic mystery with a special feast. When Pope Urban IV established this feast for the entire Church in 1264, he entrusted the composition of the liturgical prayers to the great theologian St. Thomas Aquinas.

Dear brothers and sisters, the first Sunday after Easter is dedicated to the mystery of the Holy Trinity. Our God reveals Himself as the mystery of Three in the fullness of time. It is not only a highly speculative mystery, but it also has very important practical consequences for our relationship with Him and for our relationships with one another.

Dear brothers and sisters, this Sunday we will conclude the Easter season and enter the liturgical intervening period. This week, we will celebrate some commemorations and feasts that still complement the Easter season — the commemorations of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of the Church, and the feast of Jesus Christ, the High and Eternal Priest...

Dear brothers and sisters, this week is marked by prayer for the sending of the Holy Spirit. Such a prayer certainly has its place in our daily lives, but in this liturgical period, this is precisely the best time to ask for renewal through the Holy Spirit...

Dear brothers and sisters, this week we will celebrate the Ascension of the Lord and begin the devotion before the feast of the Pentecost. This brings us closer to the end of the Easter season. All parish activities continue as usual, on Tuesday there will be a Mass at St. Martin's Church (reservation required).

Dear brothers and sisters, the Easter season is in its second half, and during the liturgy, we read passages that remind us of the importance of Jesus' resurrection for our lives. I would like to draw your attention to the new Martinoviny, which were released this week. They can be downloaded either here on the website or printed copies are available for collection in the church vestibules.
