On October 3, 2026, the Slovak Province of the Congregation of the Sisters of Mercy of the Holy Cross received a great gift: After a two-year novitiate, the novice Sr. Alverína Jureková made her first religious vows during a solemn Mass at the Church of the Sacred Heart in Trnava.
May St. Francis, whose 800th anniversary of his death we are commemorating these days, help Sr. Alverína to recognize Christ in the sick and the needy and to be a representative of Christ’s love everywhere.
