The stained-glass windows blessing and the 100th birthday of the oldest parishioner


In the parish church in Briješće on December 9th, the stained glass windows, depicting the figures of Our Lady of Stup and the heavenly patron saint of this faithful community – Leopold Mandić were blessed, and the 100th birthday of the oldest parishioner - Ljiljana Škraba was celebrated.

Holy Mass was celebrated in the evening by Archbishop of Vrhbosna, cardinal Vinko Puljić, and in concelebration was, among others, parish priest, rev. Josip Vajdner, editor of Katolički tjednik.

After the Holy Mass, the gathering continued in the parish hall and a congratulation was given to the centenarian.

Let us mention that the stained-glass windows are the work of academic sculptor and painter Zdenko Jurišić, made by the company Staklorad from Tolisa. The stained glass of Our Lady of Stup was donated by the former econom of the archdiocese and now the pastor of Maglaj, venerable Franjo Tomić, while the stained glass window of St. Leopold is a gift from the believers of this parish.
