The information that we will be saying goodbye to Father Jenda after such a short time has surely reached you. We believe that despite the brief time Jenda spent here, he has met many of us, accompanied our community and families. We would also like to prepare a gift for Jenda in the form of an original photo album with memories, messages, thanks, pictures of children, or photos created by families, communities, or individuals that could remind him of the time spent in our parish.

Below you will find the way and instructions on how to create the album.

Photo Album for the Ústí Parish

This is not a classic printed photo book, but a photo album that will include not only photos but also, for example, handwritten notes, drawings, messages, memories, thanks, etc., prepared by individual families, households, or communities.

Practically, this means the following:

  1. Each family, household (also reach out to your grandparents) or community that wishes to participate in the creation of the gift will pick up 1 sheet of special paper (which will connect the entire work) in the church, size A4 with pre-made holes, so that we can finally put them all into prepared decorative covers. The orientation of the paper is assumed to be landscape. You can pick up the blank sheets after services in the church on Sundays during June and July. Your family can fill up this sheet on both sides, and you can decorate it according to your imagination – see point 2. You may fill more than one sheet.
  2. Meet as a family and consider what you would like to communicate to Father Jenda, what to thank him for, what to remember, and what you might have experienced together. Children can draw a picture, parents can write a message. Take a group photo or use some from your archives and print it. There can be multiple photos of varying sizes. Don’t forget to include your names.
  3. For sticking photos, images, and messages, use, for example, double-sided tape, photo corners, or really good glue; TENYL has been proven (a regular glue stick does not hold).
  4. You will have time to submit the finished work to Veronika Poslušná by Sunday, July 27.

We believe that we will be able to create an original gift full of memories and stories!

A new stage of his pastoral service will begin in mid-September, but we hope to have time for a final meeting and farewell on Sunday, September 14. We would like to present the gift that Sunday. Thank you very much.
