Patronal feast of the Martyrdom of St John the Baptist
The main Mass at twelve; the sermon will be preached by Canon Kubaczyk. In the afternoon, a parish gathering.
On Saturday 29 August we celebrate the patronal feast of the Martyrdom of St John the Baptist — the second patronal feast of our parish in the year, alongside the one in June.
Mass times: 7:00, 9:00, the solemn patronal Mass at 12:00 and the evening Mass at 18:00. The patronal sermon will be preached by Canon Stanisław Kubaczyk, parish priest of our parish from 1996 to 2014, who now lives in the home for retired priests. After the main Mass, a Eucharistic procession around the church.
Confessions will be heard throughout the day, including during the main Mass — priests from the deanery will be coming. It is a good opportunity for those who had no chance during the holidays.
From three o'clock you are invited to the square by the presbytery: coffee, cake and a tombola. The proceeds will go towards the restoration of the organ, which will begin in the autumn. Prizes and cakes can be brought to the parish office until Friday.
The August patronal feast has a different character in our parish from the June one — it is more modest and more of a family occasion, falling at a time when many parishioners are returning from their holidays. Those who have come to visit their families are especially welcome.
