Summary/Abstract: In the central part of Hunedoara County, in the meadow of Mureş, lies the village of Bobâlna, whose past is inextricably linked, ecclesiastically, to the name of three personalities of the church life: Bishop Atanasie Anghel, the first Romanian hierarch united with the Church of Rome, born – probably – in this locality, the Orthodox monk Sofronie from Cioara, arrested in the prison of the noble castle here in the winter of the years 1760-1761, and parish priest Ioan Sabău, one of the many clergy who suffered in communist prisons, Bobâlna's spiritual pastor for more than three decades (1964-1995). This study will present the evolution of the local Greek-Catholic parish community.
