With Brother Barry on the Dunakapu Square, Győr, Hungary
In 2015 summer, the renewed Dunakapu (Gate of Danube river) Square in Győr was inaugurated, where Zoltán Pál's sculpture "PULZUS" was also installed. The huge, rotatable lens both reflects and captures the square, the city and the people, creating a continuous experience for all those who pass by.

Pictures from the past
Three members of the Irish Alexian community, Brother Luke Polding, Brother Dermot O'Leary and Brother Dominic Walsh, visited the Alexians in Hungary in February 2013. During their stay, they visited the Benedictine Abbey of Pannonhalma, founded in 996, one of Hungary's outstanding historical sites and centres of ecclesiastical and artistic history. The picture shows the beautiful library of the abbey, which is still growing and currently holds 400,000 books.

Saint Alexius, beloved patron of the homeless, pilgrims, and the Alexian Brothers,
As this new week begins, we turn to you with hearts full of hope and gratitude. We ask for your intercession as we seek to walk in love and compassion, just as you did during your earthly life. Guide us to recognize those who are in need around us—those who struggle without shelter, those who wander in search of purpose, and those who are weary from their journeys. Inspire us to reach out with open hands and willing hearts, bringing comfort and support where it is most needed. Saint Alexius, instill in us the courage to embody your love and hospitality in our daily lives. Help us to be instruments of kindness and mercy, reflecting the light of Christ to all we meet. With your heavenly assistance, may this week be filled with compassion, understanding, and opportunities to serve those who need it most.
Amen.
