History

The monks arrived in Nagykároly in 1943 and converted the building of the former financial administration into a church and monastery. In 1944 they fled from the Soviet occupation, with the exception of Fr Semtey Gellért. He ran the parish until he was deported to the Soviet Union. He was succeeded by the Franciscan monk Fr Vitéz Bernárd, who was deported to Dés in 1950 together with his fellow Franciscans. In 1983, a new pastor's house was built, and between 2001 and 2003 the new church was built and the old one demolished.
