For children
You can imagine that we are playing a time path and suddenly our cart stops before a small but very important house from 1854 - that is exactly 172 years ago, when there were still people living here who consulted with God's Word and made signs about others. The house we call today, Fara in Leštiny, was always home to the parishioners who helped people around here. At that time it was like a rowing game: the priest was not a religious teacher but also a counselor who helped with family problems, advised where good water could be found or how the disease would be offset.
