Matteo Bruni, the Director of the Holy See Press Office, made the following official announcement on Saturday:"Accepting the invitation of the President of Mongolia and the ecclesial authorities of the country," said Mr. Bruni,"Pope Francis will make an Apostolic Journey to Mongolia from 31 August to 4 September this year." The Press Office Director added that the visit's programme and further details will be released in the coming weeks.
He also discusses the nation's Catholic community, relations between Christians and other religions, and his hopes for the Pope's visit. This trip is a very important sign for the Church in Mongolia, a sign of care and closeness from the Holy Father for our small and young community. We were already aware of this closeness, because the Pope has always shown special consideration for the peripheries in the world, as special places of witness. But the presence of the Successor of St Peter at our side is a real encouragement for all the faithful and missionaries.
We thought with him that it would perhaps be possible to include all the faithful in one photo op with Pope Francis. Formally, the Church in Mongolia was born in recent years, but in a rapidly changing world and in a country with a long history behind it, where traces of the Christian presence can be found at certain times. People who visit us from outside are often marked by something on the order of spiritual freshness. As a missionary who has served this Church for some 20 years, I can testify to this freshness.
