The grave of Bishop József Vázsonyi

He was one of the founders and publisher of the Christian social, cooperative and literary weekly newspaper Csallóköz. ; ; Previously, the two parishioners awaited the resurrection in metal coffins in the crypt of the Kriha-like Jesus Heart Chapel of the Újfalu cemetery.
