Reviews
A small Catholic church with the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Blessed Motherhood at the intersection of Saska, Płaszowska (turning into ul. Przewóz) and Myśliwska in Krakow (Płaszów) - adjacent intersection to the right of ul. Nowohucka at the level of ul. Stoczniowcy and Saska (looking and driving, e.g. from ul. Wielicka, or from the Krakow airport towards Nowa Huta). A historic church with a convenient, small parking lot for cars, next to the church, besieged by the faithful during Sunday masses.
The parish was established in 1939. Beautiful stained glass windows made in 1944 were designed by Fryderyk Śmieszek. The church is small but very atmospheric. Additionally, you can see that it is very well-kept and recently renovated. The side altars were rebuilt and the main one renovated. There is an order of Sacred Heart priests next to the church who take care of the temple and the surrounding areas. A very big advantage is the fridge set up by the brothers for the poor, where you can share excess food with those in need.
Great priests, great sermons, you can feel the community in this Church. You can feel that what they do comes straight from the heart and reaches people. Thank you very much!
A very nice church, the atmosphere is great for prayer. Fr. The parish priest is so cool that hey :). He knows how to joke, celebrate mass and preach at the highest level.
He prepared great kids for communion. His First Communion rehearsals are great. Children like him because he knows when to incorporate a joke into his speech. If you don't believe, come to Holy Mass. then you will become addicted and go to his mass. He is for people. A true priest by vocation.
I have a very positive opinion about the parish and the priests working here. It's a different world compared to what is sometimes shown in the media. And I also compare it to another parish located in one of the towns in Nowy Sącz.
An atmospheric church, friendly and helpful priests, wise evangelization teachings presented in simple language. From my heart I bless you and thank you for the priests, especially the Parish Priest and the harismatic Father Michal👍 …
Very good place of worship, good, vibrant with spiritual life, a place with active communities, very well run, worth visiting, worth checking out the website of this church, this is where masses for healing take place.
My experience at the Congregation of the Sacred Heart was truly uplifting. The ambiance of the church is serene and peaceful, perfect for quiet contemplation and prayer. The architecture is stunning, with intricate details that add to the sense of reverence. The staff was welcoming and accommodating, making me feel truly blessed to have visited this sacred place.
I had a meaningful visit to the Congregation of the Sacred Heart. The church itself is a beautiful piece of architecture, with impressive stained glass windows and ornate decorations. The atmosphere was solemn and respectful, allowing for a deeply spiritual experience. The only downside was the limited parking availability nearby, but overall, it was a memorable visit.
Visiting the Congregation of the Sacred Heart was a highlight of my trip to Kraków. The church is a masterpiece of design and craftsmanship, with a sense of grandeur that inspires awe. The interior is adorned with exquisite artwork and statues, creating a sense of reverence and devotion. The staff were friendly and helpful, adding to the overall positive experience. I would highly recommend a visit to this sacred place.
