LITURGICAL AND DEVOTIONAL GROUPS
-
ROSARY CONFRATERNITY
Founded by Jesuit Father András Nagy, who is buried in the cemetery of the central church. There are currently 115 confraternities in the municipality. Each confraternity has 15 members and one leader. Four or five confraternities form a “crown”, also led by a single leader. The confraternities meet monthly at the beginning of the month to pray to the Holy Spirit, the Virgin Mary and Saint Dominic, the patron saint of the Rosary confraternities.
