Holy Family Church

Holy Family Church, Catholic church in Bratislava, Slovakia.

Holy Family Church is a Roman Catholic parish church in Petržalka, Bratislava, built from July 2001 and completed in 2003 to a design by architect Ivan Kolenič. It stands by the Chorvátske rameno canal near the Technopol complex, on Námestie Jána Pavla II., the square where Pope John Paul II celebrated mass in 2003. The church seats 528 people, and its parish grounds cover 1.7215 hectares.

Construction of the church began in July 2001 to a design by architect Ivan Kolenič, and the building was completed in 2003 and consecrated in 2005. In 2003 Pope John Paul II visited the church and celebrated an open-air mass on the square in front of it, attended by more than 250,000 believers from Slovakia and neighbouring countries; the space is now Námestie Jána Pavla II. In 2005 the same square hosted the culmination of the Third National Eucharistic Congress, with a mass celebrated by Cardinal Jozef Tomko, and on 30 September 2017 Cardinal Angelo Amato beatified Don Titus Zeman there in the name of Pope Francis.

The church is used for Roman Catholic services and is also lent to the Greek Catholic parish of Bratislava-Petržalka. The square in front, Námestie Jána Pavla II., is named after the 2003 open-air mass and was the site of the beatification of don Titus Zeman on 30 September 2017.

The building is accessible by public transportation, with several bus stops within easy walking distance. Plan your visit outside service times if you want to explore the interior at your own pace.

The square in front of the church is named after Pope John Paul II, who celebrated an open-air mass there in 2003; over 250,000 believers from Slovakia and neighbouring countries attended. On the same ground on 30 September 2017, Cardinal Angelo Amato beatified don Titus Zeman in the pope's name.
