Father victims of his own popularity? Collects money for the purchase of a chapel
In Poznań Latin, Father Radosław has been operating for less than three years. Since then, the faithful are still coming. For this reason, the priest decided to enlarge the parish’s seat with a neighboring place. However, this was a temporary solution, because there is a lack of space again. To be able to accept more faithful – you need more space, and more money is needed for it. Hence the idea for a dump on the web.
The hellias resounds between the blocks
Because the premises on the ground floor can not accommodate everyone at one time, a huge tent is set up in the area where the temple is to be erected in the future.
On Holy Thursday, Father Radosław began to wash his legs to the faithful.
This year, 736 people came because they want to participate in the community, they want to love and serve. They did it with true faith. From infants who were just born, to a senior at 98 years old. People cried, hugged me, blessed me. There was a Holy Spirit who gives us the dignity of God’s child
He reported.
On Easter weekend, a loud « Hallelujah » was heard around the estate, which was out of the tent.
– People want to know God nowadays, although of course we will not come back to the turnout years ago and crowds in churches. And we – priests – we must be aware of this. We are obliged to look for different ways to attract people to God – explains Father Rakowski.
Father Rakowski managed to get the neighboring premises and enlarge the space of the parish headquarters to 300 sq m, but after three months it turned out that this space was not enough.
About 2,000 participate in four Sunday services. the faithful. Ultimately, the priest wants to raise funds for the construction of the church. Before this happens, he would like to buy the currently occupied space. As he estimated, PLN 3 million is needed. Father Rakowski admits that a real temple could cost up to PLN 20 million. The collection for the needs of the parish was founded on the Siepomaga website. There are currently over 7,000 at the collection. zloty.
We don’t have debts, we currently have several hundred thousand zlotys savings, but we must collect at least a million so that we can take a loan. I believe that we will be able to collect PLN 3,000,000. God shows us that he wants growth in Latin, that we must be ready to accept new ones. Every Sunday, those who are for the first time come, who confess after 10, 20 years and seek faith in God. I believe that our parish can help many to pass faith to children and young people, but is also a place of great evangelization
– says the priest.
