Valea Mare

Village in Faraoani commune, Bacău county. Historical names: Valle Mare, Lunga, Nagy Patak. First documentary mention: April 9, 1762. Demographic evolution: 1762 (18 families; 87 believers); 1777 (250 believers); 1850 (1497 believers); 1900 (451 families; 1575 believers); 1947 (568 families; 2080 believers); 2003 (778 families; 2146 believers). Ecclesiastical organization: Parish founded in 1953. Churches: At the end of the 17th century, the Catholic inhabitants of Faraoani left the old hearth of the settlement (due to the stepsons of those times) and settled on the current territory, on the current hearth of the villages of Faraoani and Valea Mare. Under these conditions, the wooden church in the cemetery, dedicated to Saint Martin, will remain outside the settlement, the cemetery continuing to be used by both the Catholic inhabitants of Faraoani and Valea Mare. In the meantime, steps are being taken to build another church. This church will be built on the hill between Faraoani and Valea Mare, called "Costiţa", aiming to use it equally by the inhabitants of the two settlements. The construction of the church began, according to the parish administration's books, on October 18, 1820. The church was made of beams on a stone foundation. Efforts to built this cult edifice have spanned several years. The church built in 1820 underwent a series of repairs in time until 1858-1860, when it was demolished and divided between the inhabitants of Faraoani and Valea Mare. From a report from March 8, 1833 of the apostolic visitor from Moldavia, Fr. Petru Rafael Arduini, we find out that “Fr. Zamoyski stayed […] for a year in Valea Mare, where he built a new church ”. We can consider this news as the first attestation of a church in Valea Mare. Considering the fact that in the same period there was still the common church on Costita, we believe that these churches were used equally. In support of the existence in 1832 of a church in Valea Mare we also bring the description of the apostolic visitor, Fr. Giuseppe Tomassi, from 1858 who, among other things, said: “... Valle Mare. Village. The parish church dedicated to the Holy Spirit, built of wood in 1832 ... has no branch, only a chapel / Cappellina / dedicated to Saint Bishop Martin, builted in the cemetery, which church is common to the neighboring village of Faraoani ... ”. As for the church in Valea Mare, from 1832, built of beams on a stone foundation, it will be demolished in the summer of 1920, and on September 15, 1922, Monsignor Cisar, Roman Catholic bishop of Iaşi, laid the foundation stone for the new church to be built of stone and brick. The works will be completed in 1926, this church that still exists today, being built in Tuscan style, with the bell tower separate from the church. Over time, it suffered from earthquakes, especially those of November 10, 1940 and March 4, 1977, but always rebuilt with the care and contribution of believers and priests, the church dedicated to St. Michael.

From the report of December 10, 1858 about the visit of the Apostolic Mission of Moldavia made by the Apostolic Visitor General Giuseppe Tomassi and sent to Cardinal A. Barnabo, Prefect of the Holy Congregation for the Propagation of the Faith, we find the following: “Văleni. Village. Church dedicated to Saint John of Nepomuk. Parish since 1840. Rebuilt of stone this year by the care of Fr. Leopoldo Rossi, the current parish priest. It has five branches in the villages of Gioseni, Găiceana, Horgeşti, Vladnik and Ketriş […] Number of souls 3203 ”. (Anton Coşa, Catholic Communities in Moldova. Horgeşti and Văleni, in the Almanac “Presa Bună”, Iaşi, 2001, pp. 159-172). The current parish church in Văleni, dedicated to the “Transfiguration of Jesus”, was built in 1938, built of brick, with tiles, 28 m long, 9 m wide, 15 m high, with the height of the 28 m ”(Bacău National Archives, Văleni Roman Catholic Parish Fund, file no. 1, 1929, fol. 64 r.). We insert below, extracted from the archival funds, even the Document of the Church from Văleni drawn up on September 28, 1938 on the occasion of the beginning of the construction works: “† In the name of the Lord In the days of the great pontiff Pius XI, pope of Rome, and of the glorious reign of M.S.

In 1948 the present church was built with the dedication of "Saint Francis of Assisi". Churches: In the city of Bacău there was a Franciscan monastery from the 14th century which also had a church annexed with the dedication of "Saint Virgin." In 1676, because of the river Bistriţa, the church was surmounted, a large part coming under water. Studying the historical sources that refer to the city of Bacău, we found that they remind here of the existence of two Catholic churches, namely: one with the dedication of "Saint Virgin" (the episcopal cathedral) and the second with the dedication "Saint Nicholas" (the future parish church). The last one in the place where it is today, obviously suffering in time a series of restorations and reconstructions. After the episcopal cathedral was overthrown, the worship center of the Catholics from the city of Bacău will become the church with the dedication of "Saint Nicholas". In 1728 a new church will be built on its site, whose continuation will be questioned in 1835. Therefore, in 1836 the Prefect of the Apostolic Mission of Moldova, Father Carol Magni, requested the Holy Congregation for Propaganda to start the construction of another Catholic church in the city of Bacău. However, the construction work of the church will begin only in 1839, under the same perimeter, under the leadership of the new Prefect of the Apostolic Mission of Moldova, Petru Rafael Arduini, being consecrated on December 6, 1846. Next to this church, which continues today, in 1992 , a new church was built with all the dedication "Saint Nicholas".
