Apostolic visitor outlines plans to expand Medjugorje
A Polish archbishop appointed by Pope Francis to oversee the Marian shrine at Medjugorje has outlined plans to expand its facilities and increase the number of Masses there.“Medjugorje represents Europe’s spiritual lungs, a place where millions discover God and the beauties of the Church,” said Archbishop Henryk Hoser, retired archbishop of Warsaw-Praga. “We now have to recreate its infrastructure, firstly by securing its liturgical space. We also need to expand its areas for retreats and provide new places for celebrating the Eucharist.” Pope Francis appointed Archbishop Hoser as apostolic visitor in May. Six young people say Mary has appeared to them in Medjugorge over decades, starting in 1981.
