World Animal Day! Celebratory mass will be held at the Shrine of St. Francis

Aggtelek National Park is organising this exceptional event in honour of World Animal Day.

The Shrine of St. Francis is located on the main road leading between the villages of Aggtelek and Jósvafő. This is Hungary’s only protected shrine to St. Francis, and was consecrated by the Hungarian Catholic Church’s Vicar of Eger.

World Animal Day has been held since 1931 in honour of St. Francis of Assisi, usually held on October 4th. However, on this occasion we will dedicate a special memorial holy mass on October 5th.

 

Aggtelek National Park’s first director, Mr. Győző Buzetzky will make the opening address. Mass will be held by Károly Ferencz, Parson for the Parish of Szendrő

 

Date and Time: Saturday, October 5, 2013. 11:00

A children’s programme will be sponsored on Friday, October 4^th.
