Blasterz are Catholic, and could not pass up the chance to see the relics of a martyr for the faith. This is a beautiful modern church with beautiful art and stained glass windows. The people in the church are warm and welcoming to travelers. On our visit we had the great good fortune not just to experience the life story and pray by the remains of the Blessed Vasel, but also to meet and be blessed by the parish priest.
