The Archdiocese of Gyulafehérvár is building a youth center with a chapel, suitable for accommodating fifty people, in Szeltersz, close to the Szentegyháza. Miklós Soltész, the Prime Minister's State Secretary responsible for church and ethnic relations, called the project very important, and at the same time assured those present of the support of the Hungarian government.

The two-story, ten-room youth house is owned by the Archdiocese of Gyulafehérvár and operated by the Archdiocese of Gyulafehérvár. The dreamer of the project was State Secretary Miklós Soltész himself, who already assured the church of the support of the Hungarian state in 2018 - explained Tamás Huba , assistant pastor of the parish of Little Saint Teréz in Székelyudvarhely, adding that the help was received with the cooperation of the Pauline Order. As he said, thanks to this, after choosing the location, they were able to purchase the plot from the Szent Gellert Foundation and from a private individual, so construction could begin this year. The pastor emphasized that the youth center should be a place of blessed meetings, where young people can share their joy, sadness and difficulties, where they can encourage each other and look to the future. Tamás Huba also revealed that at the request of the Pauline Fathers, Blessed Özséb will be the patron saint of the place.

State Secretary Miklós Soltész asked the young people that, in addition to being a place for vacations, love, friendships, and meetings, the facility should also be a place for Christian values, where they can prepare for the dangers that arise in life and learn how to stand up for their faith. Always remember the late II. Pope János Pál's former statement: "be the signs of contradiction", said the state secretary.

State Secretary Miklós Soltész also said that the Government of Hungary first supported the project with HUF 150 million, from which the plot needed for construction could be purchased, as well as plans and other documentation could be completed. To continue the already started implementation, help is coming from the Hungarian state again, this time it is HUF 305 million.
