Favorite thing: Metal crosses collection, pot collection, key collection, the fence arround church is made from metal fences from old cemeteries, each piece is different.
The shiny pots are not just collection - this is part of Stanislovas education program. Alcoholics, drug addicted people, or just children staying in this house were teached and cured by hard work. Father Stanislovas gathered people together and started to clean old pots, of course, others did the same. His main idea of education was "Not to tell what to do, but to show with the own attempts. If you see a garbage on the floor, you don't need to say to child - "collect it", but you take it yourself and child will see and will learn". Many addicted people were cured by "hard work" methodics. The collection of lanterns is very colourfull, it is not very common for church, but these old lanterns were renovated and painted by addicted people and the lanterns were one of instuments to cure people.
