Michal Altrichter SJ and P. Pavel Ambros SJ (from the Centro Aletti in Olomouc) about the activities of the Society in Velehrad and about the history of the local Stojan´s Gymnasium, which commemorates this year one hundred years since its foundation. A solemn Mass in the sanctuary was celebrated by the Czech Father Provincial Josef Stuchly; another eight Jesuits from different communities in Bohemia and Moravia concelebrated.
