Parish of the Most Holy Savior in Krakow

The Parish of the Most Holy Savior in Krakow was established in 1183 and is one of the oldest places of worship in the region. The parish takes its name from the Church of the Most Holy Savior, which was built in the 10th–11th centuries and consecrated in 1148. Despite its historical significance, this ancient church no longer serves as the parish church—that role has been taken over by the Baroque Church of St. Augustine and St. John the Baptist, located next to the Norbertine convent. Parish celebrations, especially the Emaus indulgence celebrated on Easter Monday, attract numerous faithful, and the solemn indulgence Mass is celebrated by the Archbishop of Krakow, underscoring the importance of the event. The parish covers a large area with many streets, reflecting its significance within the local community. Parish communities are diverse and include the Catholic Action, pastoral care for various groups such as Alcoholics Anonymous and artists, and the Fatima Rosary group. There is also a girls' schola and a Liturgical Service. The parish also distributes media such as the *Tygodnik Salwatorski* (Salvator Weekly), which serves an informational role and promotes various community activities. The history and activities of the Parish of the Most Holy Savior make it an important landmark on Krakow's religious map, blending tradition with an active spiritual community life.
