The Holy Mass celebration was led by the parish priest of Kakanj, rev. Ivica Mršo in concelebration with the teacher at the boarding school of the Sarajevo KŠC Sv. Josip, rev. Darko Endrich. The Eucharistic celebration was attended by representatives of the army and the police, the family of sister Danka, members of the Society of Sisters of the Daughters of God's Love and the faithful of Kakanj and surrounding parishes, reports the Facebook page of the Franciscan Monastery of Kraljeva Sutjeska.

At the beginning of his sermon, Rev. Mršo emphasized the role of angels that are encountered throughout the Bible and the history of salvation. He especially emphasized the patron saint of the police and the army, Archangel Michael.

He also pointed out the link between the martyrdom of sister Danka and Bl. Drina martyrs. "Today we remember the martyrs: girls, women and mothers in a special way", invited rev. Mršo.

After the Eucharist, the faithful visited the place of Sister Danka's murder, where they said a prayer for the dead. Nuns, the family of the Kakanj martyr and priests eventually visited the city cemetery where she was buried.

Every fifteenth day of the month, Kakanj parish introduces devotion through the prayer of the litany with the Drina martyrs, during which they will also pray for sister Danka in a special way.
