BASILICA OF ST LOUIS
AND OUR LADY OF THE ASSUMPTION

KATOWICE-PANEWNIKI

POLAND

Neoromanesque Franciscan basilica from the early 20th century.

"Through faith in the Son of God made man we abide in the very heart of God: “God is love, and whoever remains in love remains in God and God in him” (1 Jn 4:16).”

- St John Paul II

It was really late in the evening, but I caught the last minutes of the retreating daylight and still managed to find the main door open. My attention was caught by a huge cemetary across the street. Not being located in the city center, it reminded me of a cemetary church, but it was way disproportionately huge to be used just for funerals. Then, I noticed it is a monastery church, just about 100 years old.
