2018.10.2-3 - The Inauguration of the National Shrine of Divine Mercy in Kiabakari

Описание: This video presents the climax of more than a quarter of a century of efforts of Fr. Wojciech to fulfill his dream (based on a vision he was given in March 1991) to establish Kiabakari as the National Shrine of Divine Mercy. It was eventually done during the two days visit of His Grace Archbishop Marek Solczyński, The Apostolic Nuncio in Tanzania, in Kiabakari Parish, Diocese of Musoma, Tanzania on October 2-3, 2018.

During those two days of his pastoral visit His Grace met with the representatives of Butiama Deanery, visited the health center, pre-school and primary school and received pilgrims who came for the night vigil and the official inauguration of the National Shrine of Divine Mercy in Kiabakari.

On the second day His Grace presided over the Solemn Mass of the inauguration of the National Shrine of Divine Mercy in Kiabakari. He unveiled a memorial plate of the day as well and blessed the cross for the construction site of the proposed Muganza Parish (southern part of Kiabakari Parish which will be detached in the future to form a new independent parish).

His Grace was accompanied by his host - His Excellency Rt. Rev. Michael Msonganzila, Bishop of Musoma, who worked hard to promote Kiabakari Shrine and helped to convince Bishops of Mwanza Metropolitan to ask Tanzania Episcopal Conference formally to acknowledge Kiabakari as National Shrine of Divine Mercy and to issue a decree (which finally was done in June 2018).
