As every year, also this year, on May 7, 2023, we attented a traditional pilgrimage of seminarists to Mount Zvir, near Litmanová.

Together with the other pilgrims, we started this day with an akathist to the Most Holy Theotokos, where we all united in celebration. It was followed by a contemplative prayer of St. rosary. Individual reflections were prepared by five seminarists, from different classes.

The highlight of the day was the divine liturgy presided over by Fr. vice-rector Peter Milenky together with other priests Fr. Jozef Urvinitka, Fr. Ján Murgaš.

In his homily, Father vice-rector focused on the conversation between Jesus and the Samaritan woman, and how from their conversation we can learn the procedure for winning people for God's life. It is important to be able to listen and accept. By listening, we say that we care about them and that they are important to us.

We ended our pilgrimage with a barbecue and returned with a grateful heart.
