On May 1, Szabolcs Takács, the ambassador of Hungary, came from Washington, D.C. for the May Festival of the local Hungarians. He wanted to visit the Hungarians of North Texas and, in particular, the Cistercian Abbey and School. On behalf of the Abbey, Fr. Julius has been very involved in fostering the local Hungarian community. In the photo, the ambassador stands between Fr. Roch and Fr. Julius, and Gábor Markocsány, Hungarian consul from Houston, is on the right end. The rest of the guests are the ambassador’s team of coworkers. The ambassador placed a wreath at the Hungarian monument in front of the Abbey, commemorating the heroes of the 1956 Revolution against the mighty Soviet Union.
