Archbishop Szal at Jasna Góra: May Polish families be rich in love as the family of the Blessed Ulmas
May Polish families be rich in love as the family of the Blessed Ulmas. May they be for the young generation a catechesis about respect for parents, in-laws, and neighbours in need of help – said Archbishop Adam Szal, Metropolitan of Przemyśl, to the participants of the 39th National Pilgrimage of Married Couples and Families. The Mass was presided over by Bishop Wiesław Śmigiel, President of the Council for the Family of the Polish Bishops' Conference. The spouses traditionally renewed their wedding vows. The event launched a peregrination of the Blessed Ulma Family in the sign of their relics.
