Warsaw, August, 25th 2014
Your Excellency,
Kondolencje po śmierci kard. Edmunda Szoki
the information about the decease of Cardinal Edmund Casimir Szoka touched profoundly the Church in Poland. Cardinal Szoka was particularly bound up both with Poland and Poles who live in the archdiocese of Detroit. During his work in Rome and cooperation with Saint Pope John Paul II he underlined many times his Polish roots. During his many visits to Poland he was known as a friend of the Church in the country of his origin. That is the reason why the news about his death moved many of our country men.
“Well done, good and faithful servant (…) enter into the joy of the Lord” (cf., Mat 25,21).” May the Good Shepherd receive his faithful servant in the Kingdom of Heaven. May the example and witness of life of Cardinal Szoka become seed of new vocations in the Church in the USA and Poland.
We express our deepest sympathy with the sorrow of the Church in Detroit
+ Stanisław Gądecki Archbishop of Poznań President of Polish Bishops’ Conference
+ Artur G. Miziński Secretary General of the Polish Bishops’ Conference
+ Marek Jędraszewski Archbishop of Łódź Vice President of the Polish Bishops’ Conference
