Catholic Kindergarten in Szeklerland Inaugurated with Hungarian Grant

MTI-Hungary Today 2021.07.05.

A Catholic kindergarten expanded with a grant of 32 million forints from the Hungarian state was inaugurated in Gyergyószentmiklós (Gheorgheni), Romania, on Saturday.

The kindergarten, which provides day-care and meals for twenty children, was consecrated by Gergely Kovács, the Roman Catholic archbishop of Gyulafehérvár (Alba Iulia).

Speaking at the ceremony, state secretary of the Prime Minister’s Office for churches, minorities and civil affairs, Miklós Soltész, said even a small kindergarten group has an important role in ensuring that young families will stay in the neighborhood, decide to have children and raise them to keep and pass on their Hungarian identity and Catholic faith.

After ten years of the government introducing national policies, Soltész said, Hungary now has a much better relationship with its neighbors, and this is also because the funding provided does not only enrich the ethnic Hungarians living there but the neighboring states as well.
