On August 29, 2018, Pope Francis greeted the Polish-speaking faithful during a General Audience in Rome: “I cordially welcome the Polish pilgrims,” the Pope said.
“Thank you so much for your prayers during my Apostolic journey to Ireland. Today, in a special way, I greet the Association of the Queen of Peace Community of Radom and the Franciscan Fathers from Niepokalanów. At their request, before this audience, I blessed the Altar of Eucharistic Adoration entitled the ‘Star of the Immaculate’. It will be installed in the Shrine of Niepokalanów (the friary founded by St. Maximilian M. Kolbe) which will thus become the eighth International Prayer for Peace Center. Adoring Christ while following the spiritual vision of St. Maximilian Kolbe, implore peace for your families, for your country, for Europe and for the whole world. I heartily bless you and your loved ones”.
