On Saturday May 3rd, 2014, the church acquired late last year in the centre of Kuopio will be consecrated to St. Joseph, becoming the first Catholic Church in modern times in eastern Finland and part of St Olav's Parish. Much is needed to make it a proper Catholic church: a new High Altar, an Ambo or pulpit, housing for the Tabernacle, a Baptismal font, Holy Water fonts, kneelers for the benches, Confessionals, candle-holders, Consecration Crosses... So if you can contribute, please do so. Bank Account: | Click here to read the fascinating story behind the carving of the Madonna and Child that is already in place in the church in Kuopio. |
