Lives Transformed by
Parish Life

Real stories from Roma communities where the Church has taken root. Every name and testimony is shared with permission.

Featured Testimony
“Before the mission came, I had no reason to stop drinking. No one expected anything from me. Now I serve in the altar. My children see me pray. That changed everything.”

— Lado, Romania

Lado was one of the first men baptized when the mission arrived in his settlement in 2012. Today he serves as a reader in the parish and mentors younger men in the community.

Slovakia
The priest started coming every week. My children began attending Sunday school. Now they can read. I never could.

Elena, Eastern Slovakia

Romania
I was ashamed to walk into any church. Father Nikolaj came to us. He baptized me in the river. That was three years ago. I haven't missed a Liturgy since.

Gheorghe, Bucharest region

Hungary
We had four children and no structure. The parish became our structure. My husband stopped drinking. My children go to school.
