Created on: 9. 6. 2024

In the spring of 2020, the Carmelite Sisters moved from an unsuitable monastery in Prague's Hradčany to Drasty, to a former estate acquired by the Vyšehrad Chapter in restitution in 2015, which the Carmelite Sisters purchased in 2018. The project to build the new monastery was successful, and by 2024 the church was completed and ready for consecration. Our Strahov schola was invited to accompany the liturgy with singing at this celebration.

Some photographs were taken from the "Člověk a víra" website, and the author is Jakub Šerých.
