History
The church was built in 2003, based on the plans of Makovecz Imre, and consecrated on 18 October 2003, in honour of the Assumption and the Hungarian saints, by Archbishop Jakubinyi György and Bishop Tamás József. The parish priest Darvas-Kozma József came up with the idea of the Millennium Church.
The statue of the Resurrection behind the altar is the work of the sculptor Nagy Ödön from Csíkszereda. In the middle of the basement stands the statue of the Lady of the Hungarians, made in Fatima. In the basement is the chapel of Blessed Father Mayer Rupert. Its sanctuary is decorated with three frescoes by local painter Márton Árpád. The fresco on the left depicts King St Stephen and Gisela, whose marriage in 996 bonded the fate of the Hungarian people to Western Christianity. The composition of Blessed Mayer Rupert (1876 - 1945) is a reference to this western link. The third picture shows Bishop Márton Áron, a prominent figure of Transylvanian Hungarians. Two 18th-century torsos are placed on the wall of the nave. Both were "wounded" in September 1944. On the left is the half-burnt Christ of Ajnád, on the right is a statue of St John of Nepomuk from the Church of the Holy Cross.
