The pilgrimage Mass in our church reminded us once again how precious it is to be able to pause and find stillness in today’s hectic times. The entire day was filled with wonderful moments. Julia Kalodová, the program director at Czech Radio Brno, who had been on the pilgrimage for the previous few days, was joined by the first brave listeners for the final leg of the journey. At the foot of the hill, Brother Jiří personally welcomed them with a banner in hand and, to the sound of bells and joyful singing, accompanied them all the way to us. 🔔🚶‍♂️
The festive mood was then perfectly underscored by a wonderful concert and a group photo of everyone present, beautifully captured by photographer Roman Franc.

THANK YOU! 💙

We’d like to thank each and every one of you from the bottom of our hearts for making the trip to see us this weekend. Your presence and smiles are always a great source of encouragement for us. 🤩
A huge thank you also goes to the entire team at Czech Radio Brno for organizing the pilgrimage and for bringing joy to so many homes through the airwaves. 💚 We thank our Pauline brothers for their spiritual guidance and all the staff for preparing the facilities. 🫱🏼‍🫲🏽

⛪️ The pilgrimage may be over, but our gates are open to you all year round. If you need to unwind for a few days, experience a personal renewal in the silence of nature, embark on a spiritual retreat, or visit with a large group, we’d be happy to arrange facilities for your program, accommodations, and full board. 🍲

Thank you for being part of this vibrant community with us. May Our Lady of Vranov accompany you on all your journeys! 🙏🏼💙
