On the feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, June 12th, the returnee parish of Foča, located on the border of the municipalities of Doboj and Derventa, celebrated its patron saint.
The Holy Mass was celebrated by the Salesian rev. Branko Bendra with the concelebration of the parish priest OFM Franjo Dalibor Stjepanović, the dean of the Derventa deanery OFM Ivan Marić and several other priests. Antonio Gašić, a deacon and a young man from the parish of Sivša, assisted at the altar.
In his sermon, rev. Branko drew attention to following Mary's example. He then spoke of the idols that most often squeeze God out of the human heart, and these are: pleasure, money, and fame. “In the fight against these idols, it is necessary to decide for Christ over and over again. In this way we fulfill the goal of our Christian life: we place Christ at the centre of our heart like the Immaculate Virgin”, said, among other things, rev. Branko.
The Holy Mass was animated by sister Jela Dubravac and sister Miroslava Klarić.
After the Eucharist, socialising was held.
By the way, the believers of this returnee parish, about 80 of them, were preparing for the patron saint by Triduum.
