In Kolunić near Bosanski Petrovac, by the blessing of Bishop Chrysostom of Bihac and Petrovac these days started is the construction of the new church and parish center ''Peter Mirkovic''. Since the return to Petrovac in 2002, Bishop had try to talk with members of Church Board, priests and believers of the need for new building construction for people, so when they come to the church hava place for gathering after the services. In 2009 the reconstructed church in Kolunić was consecrated, after that Bishop began more to emphasize this issue.

For years present is a  feel of a great need for a church and parish center in Strojice, the center, which would be for the function of parishioners and their needs. Parish Strojice recognizable is by its geographical feature - Mountain and dispersed. People need a lot of time and effort to come to their temple. It is needed need sayz Bishop Chrysostom '' that Church in return give back to a faithful people - to enable them place to rest, for gathering and celebrations. I always wanted that after the Liturgical celebration in Strojice we all have room to sit and lunch, now only a small number of belivers have the opportunity . I wish that all people have the opportunity to have lunch, to sing, to play, to talk, to socialize, ... etc ''. It was Bishop Chrysostomos who gave the idea of building a church-parish center, which will be called by the famous priest of Strojica fr.Miroslav Strika or maybe just "House of Janj'', or combined.
On this occasion, His Grace Bishop Chrysostom was in Strojice on  24.juna 2010 with the surveyor to accurately specify the field where the facility will be built.
