Some help from the brethren

Poland comes to the rescue again! Only 1100 of the 3000 parishes in the Czech Republic have resident priests, so the bishops have obtained about 200 priests from the Polish dioceses and religious orders to serve alongside them.

[Fr. Piotr] Krysztofiak[, O.P.], meanwhile, said that after seven years in Prague, he does not feel homesick. "I don't look out of the window and miss Poland. I have a good relationship with the seven other Dominican friars in the priory here.

"And I feel personally closer to Czech Catholics than to Polish communists, or Polish nonbelievers."

The Prague Post has an article, and Radio Prague prepared a radio feature for the Insight Central Europe magazine show. It's available on the net in RealAudio format. (The feature starts at 11'25" into the program.)

RC's post about Prague over on Catholic Light reminded me of my trip there last summer. Here is one of the many beautiful churches I visited; this one is a Franciscan monastery. Check out that altar! Read More

I saw a number of Dominicans walking about when I was in Prague. They also have "believing Jesuits" over there.

Go Team!

Don't forget, the feast of St. Casimir is March 4.
