Saint Emeric Church - Saint Emeric Church

My daughter ministral here is a real community! Nice to be part of it!

It is one of the most modern churches in the world, often with masses, and a demanding guitarist mass on Sunday mornings. A good starting point for trips to the mosques.

Peace and tranquility flow from the Pauline fathers. If you desire spiritual nourishment, you will always find it here.

The Pauline Church is one of the most beautiful works of modern Hungarian architecture. Not only because of its architectural principles and technical solutions, but also because of its endowments maintained by the Christian liturgy. The view of the church is decisive from the last bend of Hunyadi út, which rises from the south. With its mass and loosely connected tower, it has become the optical organizing force of the area. A much-cited, photographed work of art that is also a significant center of living church life. The church was built for Pauline monks. In 1928, a tender was issued to regulate the center of Pécs. The winners of the "competition" were Endre Dörre, Károly Weichinger and Gyula Kőszeghy. In their tender, they covered the construction of Széchenyi Square, the location of the university center, the sports grounds of Balokány, the villa area of ​​the Mecsek Mountains, the plans of the high-altitude lookout route. It was almost natural that the plans for the order, which was allowed to settle in Hungary in 1934, would be shaped by an architect who had already proved his involvement and suitability in church constructions. The baptismal font already planned for the Demeter tower in Szeged and proposals for the placement of the remains of the Romanesque stone in this XIII. century building. As a result of a winning design competition before Pécs, he built the parish church of the Holy Trinity in Kelenvölgy (Bp.) In 1931, and the Rock Church in Gellérthegy in 1932. Of course, many secular architectural works and designs are also associated with his name. He later became a professor in the public building design department of the technical university, receiving the Kossuth Prize for the new buildings of the university.

Relatively modern building with simple, clean shapes. Its special feature is that the sanctuary is lit by skylights. Unfortunately, this temple is also closed between worship services, only to be seen.
