In short, this would be what I wanted to write down in these commemorative pages about the origin, the development and about the special events of this community for the 150th new year of its existence. One who followed the development of the community briefly sketched in these commemorative pages with a scrutinizing eye will spontaneously have a twofold conviction forced on him: 1. That this community over a period of 150 years has withstood the vicissitudes of time victoriously so far; 2. That only the devoted collaboration of the faithful with their pastor, only a firm religious fidelity and magnanimous willingness to make sacrifices have helped this parish in working its way up to a fine, awe-inspiring community. In view of this
conviction, it is indeed fitting and just[149]
that all the children of the parish assemble on this jubilee, that they
jointly praise God the Almighty, sincerely thank Him and the heavenly
mother of God and
At the same time however, may the spirit of unanimous collaboration, the firm belief in God and the magnanimous readiness to make sacrifices which filled our ancestors continue in the community and pass to those who will come after us. Indeed, may this spirit continue through the years which God will grant to us and to our descendants on earth until all of us one day happily find each other again in the heavenly fatherland. With this sincere wish, I call to all the living children of the parish a heartfelt, “God bless you,” but for the deceased children of the parish I intend to pray in loving memory, “Lord, give them eternal peace and may eternal light shine on them.” Panatulnou
