Religion

The Slovak Republic is officially a secular state; however, by tradition, it is a country with a strong Christian heritage. The first Christian bishopric was established in the 9th century in Nitra. At present, several legal norms regulate the freedom of conscience and religion, and provide a guarantee for general respect of these fundamental human rights and freedoms. According to the Slovak Constitution, “Freedom of thought, conscience, creed and religion is guaranteed. This right includes the right to change one's religion or belief.”  You can find Mass times in churches across Slovakia via this website.
