Group of clergy in Černovice
Description:
During the summer holidays of 1896, the local native, newly ordained Reverend Antonín Tůma, celebrated his priestly first Mass "in the local church; at 10 o'clock he will be solemnly escorted from his father's house to the local church, after which the ceremonial sermon will begin and, when it has ended, he will celebrate his first Holy Mass. Next Sunday, six Holy Masses will be celebrated from seven until nine in the morning." He could hardly have known that from 1930 until the end of the Second World War he would serve here as dean. His older brother Václav had celebrated his first Mass here three years before him. A photograph of fourteen clergymen, probably in front of the barn in the courtyard behind the rectory, comes from Antonín's festive day on 2 August. Standing from left are Dvořák, Šimůnek, Alois Bednář (a local native, ordained in České Budějovice in 1886), Václav and Antonín Tůma, Vojtěch Slunečko, Alois Zachariáš, parish priest in Hrob, Josef Staněk from Dobešov, and Jan Hromadník. Seated in front of them are Pavlík, parish priest in Věžná, Jan Pravda of Lidmaň, Alois Jirák, Ferdinand Hazuka, and Dekara, dean of Mladá Vožice. A small dog completes the tranquil group portrait. Seated in the centre is local native Father ThDr. Alois Jirák, rector of the episcopal seminary in České Budějovice and a resident canon; that year he presided over the first congress of Catholics in Tábor. Curiously, Antonín's first Mass had already been announced in Jindřichohradecké listy a year earlier for 14 July 1895, while his ordination to the priesthood was announced in Budivoj on 9 April 1896.
Thank you.

Please help us to identify who is on the photograph and date it.

Year:
Varnishing has been used for collodium wet process negatives (used before the year 1890) but certainly some of later gelatine based negatives are varnished as well (minimally to the year 1901).
Help us exactly date this photograph,please!
