Invitation

This year’s retreat on the road will take place under the slogan: GO AND PREACH THE GOSPEL! This pastoral program will also encompass topics related to the hundredth anniversary of the Marin apparitions in Fatima, the hundredth anniversary of the death of St. Albert Chmielowski, and the 300th anniversary of the coronation of the image of Mary, Queen of Poland. In addition to their own personal intentions, pilgrims will also pray for the intentions of Pope Francis and the Archdiocese of Wroclaw.
