Festive Concert of the Tiszavasvári City Wind Orchestra – March 29, 2026, Tiszavasvári
The Roman Catholic Diocese of Satu Mare, in partnership with the Greek Catholic Eparchy of Nyíregyháza and the Roman Catholic Diocese of Debrecen–Nyíregyháza, organized the following event on Saturday, 27 June 2026, starting at 11:00 a.m., the cross-border project CET ROHU-00474, entitled “Catholic Event Tourism in Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg and Satu Mare Counties”, funded by the INTERREG VI-A Romania–Hungary Programme. The event took place on the occasion of the patronal feast of St. Ladislaus Roman Catholic Church in Beltiug, celebrated on the Feast of St. Ladislaus.
The celebration began at 11:00 a.m. with a solemn Holy Mass, celebrated on behalf of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Satu Mare by Fr. Ilyés Csaba, Episcopal Vicar. In his homily, he emphasized that the beauty of creation brings us closer to God, the source of perfection and love. The example of St. Ladislaus continues to encourage the faithful to live their faith not only through words but also through love and service towards their neighbour. The celebration gained additional significance through the cooperation of the three dioceses, launched a year ago within this European project, which aims to restore one historical monument in each diocese, promote the region’s spiritual heritage, and revitalize community life in the participating localities. This partnership conveys the message that the strength of the Christian community is expressed through encounters, mutual respect, and care for one’s neighbour.
Following the Holy Mass, the guests gathered in the authentically restored traditional barn, where, despite the high temperatures, they enjoyed a festive lunch in a particularly pleasant atmosphere. The programme continued with a culinary workshop accompanied by traditional songs, during which participants learned the secrets of preparing Swabian strudel. The event concluded with a visit to the Nachbil Winery, where guests tasted the region’s renowned local wines.
