St Florian’s Chapel holds the memories of Buivydžiai — our faith, our history and the bonds of our community. We want our children and grandchildren to know it as more than a photograph.
Time and the elements have left their mark. The chapel needs urgent conservation work to halt its deterioration and preserve this remarkable part of our heritage.
We warmly ask for your support. Every donation, however small, brings us closer to this goal. Thank you for helping us keep a part of Buivydžiai alive for those who will come after us.
Send an amount of your choice directly to the community’s bank account.
We are grateful for every gesture of support.
