The Polish Catholic Mission in Rosenheim was the third parish in the Southern Deanery (after Munich and Ingolstadt) of the Polish Pastoral service in Germany, which was visited by the Triptych depicting Our Lady of Częstochowa, Saint Faustyna Kowalska and St. John Paul II along with the relics of the Holy Father. The visitation of the Triptych which relate to the 100th anniversary of the birth of Karol Wojtyła that took place this year, gathered the faithful at the Masses, which always ended with the veneration of the relic of St. John Paul II.
The Triptych was placed in the chapel in the Center of the Polish Mission, which is also used by the faithful of the Croatian Mission, who were very happy that they were able to pray in front of the Triptych and relic.
On Friday, November 8th, after the Holy Mass we had to bid farewell. We prayed the Chaplet to the Divine Mercy, a prayer for the St. John Paul II intercession to God to grant us necessary graces. Then, we sang “Barge” and Jasna Góra Novena and venerated the relic of the Holy Father. In such manner we ended this good time of the visitation.
During the visitation, the faithful people had the opportunity to deepen their faith and strengthen the bonds which they have, through Our Lady of Częstochowa and the Polish Saints, with their Homeland and the Catholic Church.
