Winter Pilgrimage To Mariazell Shrine In Austria - Photos

Continuing with my recovery program after the surgery on January 13 this year, I am deeply grateful to my classmate and best friend - Fr. Wiesław, pastor of Ulmerfeld-Hausmenning-Neufurth parish in St. Pölten diocese in Austria, for his invitation to come for one week to his place to rest and visit our common friends, especially from the Mission Team. Yesterday I had opportunity to see Linz and the area with our dear friends - Maria, Herbert, Maria and Brigitte. Today another dear friend - Franz - took me to Mariazell for prayer and Holy Mass. I am so happy and grateful to him personally, to his wife Brigitte for a lovely welcome at their house, for breakfast and lunch and good chat, same as I was grateful to Fantastic Four yesterday on the way from Linz and in Maria's house. Here are some images I took on my mobile on the way, in and back from Mariazell. Austria is magnificent in winter! It is such a blessed time here in Ulmerfeld. Deo gratias! Thank you, Wiesiek! Thank you, Mission Team! God bless you much!

Surprise

My Mission Support Team in St. Kazimierz home parish in Kraków, has prepared a surprise party for me, on the occasion of my 50th birthday (delayed, as it was actually on April 22nd). Still, it was a lovely afternoon, with a great cake and blowing out candles, nice talk and sharing. Thank you, ladies and gentlemen!

Auf Wiedersehen! Kwaherini!

Time has come to say goodbye to Denise and Thomas. We wish them well! We pray for God's blessings in their lives - for their future family and good satisfying jobs. Till we meet again!

About Us

Just an alert to bring your attention to a short 30 minutes or so photo presentation and music (below) depicting the latest (November 2011)  pastoral visit of the mission team of Archdiocese of Krakow, Poland, in our missions in Tanzania. You may see my mission in Kiabakari (from 6th minute of the program up to almost 11th minute). Plus Musoma cathedral later on in the program where I spent more than four years (2002-2006).
