Church of Our Lady of Fatima

Church of the Lady of Fatima

The 12x12 metre church started construction in 1973 during the time of pastor Špirko Vuković, and it was completed in 1982 during the time of pastor Joza Varvodić. It was blessed by bishop Marko Perić on the holiday of Our Lady of Fatima, on 13 May. Above the altar is the painting Igra križa, sunca i zvijezda(The play of the cross, Sun and stars) by pastor Ivan Marijan Čagalj. When Stjepan Barišić was pastor, in 1995, a belfry was built.[7] She is the patron of Momići.[8]

Culture

On 7 May 1939 a Croatian reference library was opened by the leader of HSS in Metković, dr. Niko Bjelovučić. It stopped working during the Second World War, and its inventory has been lost.[9]

The cultural society Škrapa has been annually organising the Toćijada since 2015, a competition in cooking toć, a kind of thick, meaty sauce.[10]

The village has an elementary school, and is planning to use its lower floor as a kindergarten.[11]
