Zdanie:
Brat taki a taki (Franciszkanin) posługuje w kościele takim, a takim.

Spytałem zleceniodawcę, o jaką konkretnie posługę chodzi, otrzymałem takie wyjaśnienie:
„To jest takie ich "księżowskie". Tu chodzi ogólnie o jego "franciszkańską posługę". Nie wiem jak można to zamienić. On jest bratem zakonnym."

Dziękuję Wam z góry za wszelką pomoc.
