Looks like a lively parish? I heard the Czech Republic is very secular, how is the Church there?
 
How was the parish community there if I may ask? Is it an older parish (age composition) if I may ask? Will it become a Shrine for him one day?

Yes this parish look qite lively but in fact this is very avarage one. This is a parish church for two vilages which have almost 2000 inhabitants in total and there is about 150 people in church. So this is little bit less then 10% of population. Ten percent is also average number of people in Czech republic which are declaring themselves to be Catholics. Even with those “just ten percent” is Caholic Church largest religious group here. Society here is quite irreligious. This problem has its historical baground (forty years of communism, anticatholicism concted with antipathy to Habsburg rule, Hussites etc.) and especialy the generations during communistic rule were systematicaly taught in schools that what is Catholic is bad. So being in the Church here is like to be little “weird” for other people and I think that this is one of factors which discourage many young people from remaining in the Church. Because they are seen as weird by their schoolmates. Generaly the situation is not very optimistic but we have hope. There are still young families who want to baptize their children and bring them up in Christ.

Great posts, @Rob2. I like how you focus on churches from certain countries for a few posts each!

To continue on from your posts of churches in Africa, this is the church my English grandparents, who lived in the British colony of Rhodesia in the late 1950s and early 1960s, attended Mass at:

I also visited Notre-Dame de Paris in 2019. I was so lucky to visit - won’t be able to do so again for another decade or two at least!

Here are some photographs we took:
