In this regard, I ask representatives of prayer groups to contact the parish priest. - It is worth remembering that one of the main responsibilities of parents is the religious education of their children, and godparents must also take care of the religious education of their godchildren. Therefore, it is worth planning time so that children can participate in catechesis.
Catechesis for children will begin on September 19. - From October, there will be changes in catechesis for adults — we invite you to the course "Simon, do you love me", which will take place on Mondays for those who start it, and on Thursdays for those who continue/
The Bible Circle will take place on Fridays, we are also recruiting groups wishing to begin the holy sacraments and join the Catholic Church and for a course of preparation before marriage. - ServiceWe invite boys and men to ministerial service, we also invite those wishing to sing in parish choirs, as well as to carry out other services – to put on slides during Holy Masses, to take regular photographs. For all questions, please contact the priests.
- We remind you that in our Cathedral there is an opportunity to begin the sacrament of penance before each Holy Mass, as well as during the day from 10 am to 1 pm and from 2 pm to 5 pm.
