A service was held at St. Vitus’ Cathedral at Prague Castle on Sunday marking the 25th anniversary of the foundation of the Committee of Good Will by Olga Havlová, the first wife of late president Václav Havel. Mass was served by Bishop Václav Malý who like the Havels moved in dissident circles during the communist regime.
