Strange announcements by priests on the staircases. Residents are strongly divided

Every year the topic of pastoral visits arouses great emotions. Recently, there has been a lot of media coverage about advertisements that appeared in one of Warsaw’s housing estates. – Don’t break up! Respect those who want to accept Christmas carols, say the priests.

Canon law does not specify the time during which pastoral visits take place. However, in our country they are traditionally organized after Christmas and usually last until February 2 (the feast of the Presentation of the Lord).
