Římskokatolická farnost Borová

very good spirituality

The Roman Catholic parish of Borová does not form, as it might seem at first glance, only one municipality. The parish includes several villages and settlements. These are the villages of Borová (parish church of St. Margaret, church of St. Catherine), Oldřiš, Svatá Kateřina, Telecí (branch church of St. Mary Magdalene), Pustá Rybná (branch church of St. Bartholomew), Lačnov (chapel of Our Lady of the Snows) , Březiny and the settlements of Bukovina (Chapel of St. John of Nepomuk) and Mrhov. Regular daily services take place only in the parish church of St. Markéta in Borová, which is visited mainly by believers from the villages of Borová and Oldřiš. From April to November, the Mass of St. once a month on Sunday in the church of St. Catherine. The village of Borová has less than a thousand inhabitants and the village of Oldřiš has about sixty-six inhabitants. Of this, the regular number of visitors to Sunday services (meaning Holy Mass on Saturday with Sunday validity + Sunday) is about one hundred and forty believers. It should be noted that the village of Borová in particular is strongly represented by the Evangelical denomination. There is an evangelical parish and a church in the village, where regular Sunday services take place. As mentioned above, the village of Telecí with the church of St. Mary Magdalene, in which the Holy Mass is celebrated every Sunday. The number of participants in this service is an average of thirty-five believers. What is a great joy, but also a hope for the future, that out of the number of thirty-five believers, fourteen are small children. It may seem to some that the number of believers is somewhat modest. However, it should be noted that this community is made up mainly of evangelical denominations. There is an evangelical church and a parish in the village, there are regular Sunday services. The village of Telecí has ​​about four hundred inhabitants. There are no regular services in other villages or settlements, only about pilgrimages and, in the case of the village of Pustá Rybná, also in memory of all the faithful dead. The Roman Catholic parish of Borová has a properly established pastoral and economic council. In the parish there is a community of school children, a community of youth. There is a regular prayer meeting of two groups, the so-called Mothers' Prayers and a meeting of ministers. The parish boasts a high-quality church choir for adults, young people and children. Various activities take place in the parish, such as the joint pilgrimage of the parish to Chlumek u Luže, the Mass of St. with a focus on children with a subsequent program at the parish, sleeping children at the parish, a traditional Christmas concert of children, meetings over the catechism, parish trip, parish day, sports activities and more, which you can read about in the parish chronicle.
