Faith next to joy – Days in Dioceses through the eyes of participators

Destination: Trzebnica

Jul 25, 2016

Hugs, exchanging contact, even tears. Over 10 thousands of pilgrims and each of them at least a little bit beloved Wrocław. Now they are on their way to Trzebnica, a station on the trial to the main destination: meeting the pope in Cracow. After a breakfast with the families or at the schools, the foreign guests got on the buses or trains and set off to Trzebnica.

A solemn Closing Mass, celebrated by archbishop Józef Kupny will start in Trzebnica at 11.00 am. – All of families were crying. As a souvenir, Colombians handed a nationals bracelet to everyone – says Maria Skomorowska from st. Andrew the Apostol parish at Bielany Wrocławskie.                     Teresa Grabiec See more photos...
