We can find God’s mercy in a renewed cathedral

Built in 1886, the city’s parish church, which was an episcopal cathedral for 29 years, has undergone the largest renovation in its history in the past two years. The roof structure of the building was completely renovated, the old roof was replaced with gray tiles, and the facade was painted a simple skeleton color – he explained the details of the investment before the liturgy. Gabor Mohai Chief Architect of Kaposvar Diocese.

We demolished the closet extensions in the 20th century and built a larger modern closet. Gabor Mohai emphasized that an essential element of internal renewal was the enlarged and unified sanctuary, where most of the clergy could take their place. They acquired a brighter and friendlier interior by “puncturing” the roof of the building in 28 places and allowing natural light to penetrate into the church. The whole cathedral is fitted with new stone cladding, and heating is provided by underfloor heating. The seats and the soundproof confession seats are made of real oak. The chief architect noted that the stained glass had been removed, cleaned, missing elements replaced, lead rods updated, and then the painted work in a steel frame restored. The 230-year-old wooden Madonna statue was also restored at the event, and the traditional three-handed organ, expanded to include 44 logs, was reconstructed and upgraded.

Laszlo Varga Provincial bishops highlighted at mass, the renovated cathedral looks up to the sky. “We only restore, but God always recreates.” Laszlo Varga emphasized that just as this church was renovated, so too should church members renovate it. Fasting is a time of conversion and renewal. On this feast, I pray that the brethren who have been born again and renewed in their hearts will fill this temple. The Bishop of the county said, I hope this place is attractive for all to find God’s love and mercy.

Miklos Soltis The Secretary of State for Church and Ethnic Relations emphasized the renovation and modernization of the episcopal offices from Gyr to Szeged, from Zombatthele to Debrecen, from Pecs to Eger, and from Esztergom to Kaluxa. Recently, more than 3,000 churches were renovated in the Carpathian Basin and more than 200 new ones were built. These investments serve the faith and strengthen the community. Many people do not understand why this is necessary, so they attack and criticize investing. Unfortunately, many also threaten to withdraw support from churches if given the opportunity. The Secretary of State said they neither understand nor want to acknowledge that our churches create community and peace and preserve and transmit the values ​​of the created world.
