The President of the Polish Episcopate Encourages Hospitality Towards Refugees
Poland's Baptism over 1050 years ago had social, cultural, popular and national dimensions—said Archbishop Stanislaw Gądecki during the XXV Pilgrimage of Radio Maryja to Jasna Gora, which gathered nearly 100,000 people. The President of the Polish Bishops' Conference urged the Church in Poland to care for the neediest, including migrants and refugees, as an example of the attitude of Christian charity.
Position of the Polish Bishops before the XIV Ordinary General Assembly of the Synod of Bishops (4-25.10.2015)
The Polish Bishops' Conference expresses its gratitude to the Holy Father Francis for the gift of the Synod of Bishops, whose theme this year will be "The Vocation and Mission of the Family in the Church and Contemporary World." We also thank the millions of Poles - including family communities and movements - who are praying for Pope Francis, the Cardinals, the Bishops and people who will take part in the Synod. We encourage everyone to continue praying for the synod, in which - at the request of the Holy Father - Bishops from Poland will participate with joy and care for the families.
