Kárpát-Haza Temploma under construction in the Lósi Valley

The philosophy behind the construction

"Verőce is one of the lovely settlements of the Danube bend, where I live
and work.  While standing along the road leading to Katalin puszta (plain)
in the Lósi Valley, a little hill covered by woods catches my eye.
Staring at the spot, something touches my soul and an idea suddenly comes
to life in my mind.

Our beloved nation, small in numbers, has morally sunk very low in respect
of honesty, prestige, patriotism and work. So low that one cannot help
believe that the sacral path is the only path left for our salvation, our
only help out of the situation we are faced with.

         There is one thing we can do; we can pray for the rise of our
nation.

          Let's then build a chapel - named Kárpát-Haza Temploma - where we
could at all times gather together to pray for the resurrection of our
country', Farkas Bethlen, the mayor of Verőce suggested.

A Hungarian flag is already flying on top of the little hill next to the
chapel under construction.

For the Friar Julian Foundation took immediate steps, bought the land,
installed electricity and had plans for the chapel drawn up. The
foundation stone was laid with all due ceremony in the presence of a large
crowd on the first day of this Spring, March 21, 2009.  The construction
is currently making good progress.

The chain of mountains encircling the Carpathian basin, like the crust on
a slice of bread, watches over a magical land and people.  This tiny abode
of God hidden among the trees on the hilltop similarly intends to guard
and develop a spirit of solidarity, to help unite those living here. Like
leaven, which raises dough almost unnoticed.

Until recently, everyone baked their "daily bread" themselves in their own
ovens.  Not long ago, wheat carrying the image of Jesus Christ in each
grain was called "life".  Just as an oven bakes bread out of wheat, this
oven-like chapel in the image of a wheat grain, will too mature and unite
souls visiting here, regardless of their denomination.

Simple walls and a vault white as snow are planned to embrace a row of
colourful glass windows displaying the uniquely rich ornamental art of our
ancestors, the Hungarian conquerors. All this illuminated by the light of
the sun reflecting on them.  Emese will be shown in the centre, who is
believed to have been lifted up to the heavens in her sleep. Legend has it
that she was the ancestress of the House of Árpád Kings, which family
produced the most saints for Europe and the world during their reign of
400 years.

Priests/ministers of various denominations and secular people committed to
serving the survival of the Magyars are welcome to come to this sacral
place to speak in the future.  Each week a spokesman from somewhere else
will come here and speak in defence of the Hungarian nation and for the
benefit of us all.

We will build this chapel by joining forces. We ask the great and small,
the young and the elderly to come and help us. Intellectual and physical
work, in-kind donations, donations in cash and/or organizational
activities will similarly be accepted.

God Bless the Hungarians!

How to donate

An ecumenical chapel, a holy place, an earthly abode of God dreamed up by
Farkas Bethlen, the mayor of Verőce, is under construction in the Lósi
Valley of Verőce, arranged by the Friar Julian Foundation (Julianus Barát
Alapítvány).  Verőce is a nicely situated small town with a wonderful view
to the Danube bend.  The chapel will be inaugurated on June 4, 2010 to
commemorate the 90th anniversary of the unfortunate Treaty of Trianon
whereby Hungary lost two-thirds of its territory and population to
neighbouring countries.

We would be grateful if you could come to the Lósi Valley of Verőce to
