Pilgrimage

The traditional cycling pilgrimage “Cyklopúť Pominovec” has taken place annually since 2004 on the last Sunday in August. The pilgrimage includes a Holy Mass, the symbolic blessing of bicycles, and the distribution of Saint Christopher stickers to pilgrims.

A solemn parish feast mass is held annually at the central chapel on the occasion of the Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

Believers also gather at the chapel on Líščia to pray the Rosary, especially in May.
