In the year 2016, we will commemorate the hundredth anniversary of the birth of blessed Zdenka Schelingova. Sister Zdenka – Cecília Schelingova, was born on December 24th 1916 in Krivá, Orava.

For the Slovak Province of Sisters of Mercy of the Holy Cross, it is a challenge for opening the Jubilee Year of Blessed Zdenka in connection with the Year of Mercy, that is celebrated by the whole Catholic Church.

„Mercy and truth have met each other...“(Psalm 84,11)

The Jubilee Year will be opened on December 28th 2015 by the Holy Mass in Podunajské Biskupice at 6.00 p.m., that will be live broadcast by the Radio Lumen.  Mons. Jozef Haľko, the auxiliary Bishop of the Bratislava archdiocese, will be the main celebrant.

The ceremony will culminate on September 17th  2016  by the solemn Holy Mass in Bratislava – Petržalka, at the place, where Sister Zdenka was beatified on September 14th 2003. Mons. Archbishop Stanislav Zvolenský, Metropolitan, will preside at the Solemnity.  

Ending of the Jubilee Year will be in the Octave of Nativity in December 2016 in Krivá, Orava, in the birthplace of blessed Zdenka Schelingova.

In this Jubilee Year, we want  especially celebrate at three places, which had special meaning in the life of Sister Zdenka: Podunajské Biskupice – the place of her religious formation, Bratislava –Petržalka, where she was beatified and Krivá, where she was born.

In the occassion of this Jubilee Year, we want primarily thank to Our Lord for the gift of Zdenka´s life,  for the grace of her vocation to our Congregation, for her spiritual message of faithfulness and forgiveness, which is so important for all of us.
