Great church and initiative. The Latin mass at 11am is well-organised and consistent, the priests are putting a lot of effort and have a good understanding of their community and they balance things well between the Latin traditions and the more modern customs. The community is also interesting and there are a lot of young people which is always good to see.

Bardzo przyjazne miejsce, cisza i spokój. Można oddać się chwili zastanowienia. Liturgia w języku angielskim. Polecam poczuć klimat tego niezwykłego miejsca.

It’s just sad that very few people go to this church even on a Christmas day..
