Hněvošice parish celebrated the 30th anniversary of the Good Shepherd Church consecration
The Hněvošice parish celebrated the 30th anniversary of the consecration of the Good Shepherd Church from October 18 to 24. The church was the first to be consecrated in the Diocese of Ostrava-Opava by the first bishop, František Václav Lobkowicz, in the autumn of 1996.
The week of thanksgiving included an organ concert, evening masses, and catechesis sessions for the elderly, married couples, and youth. Priests Jiří Ramík, Vítězslav Řehulka, and František Bujňák spoke during these sessions. During a mass on October 20, parishioners prayed for the church builders, and Arnošt Kubala shared historical images and a television program from 1996 regarding the construction of the building.
The celebrations concluded on Saturday, October 24, with a ceremony attended by Bishop Martin. He previously attended the church's original consecration as a theology student. During the event, parishioners presented him with a photograph from his time as a student.
