During his Apostolic Visit, Pope Francis remembered the miraculous site throughout his discourses with affection. Prior to the miracle, Fr. Piotr explained, people were praying the rosary. He recalled that at the time, under the Communist regime, there were no priests and no Masses were celebrated. "After many years, this fact was especially inspected by our Metropolitan Archbishop [of Astana] Tomasz Peta, and together with other people, they constructed a small church," he said.At this moment, he said, this church is our national shrine, where"for many years, people have received another food, not fish, but spiritual food."
The growth of Catholic Church in particular, Monsignor Piotr pointed out, was connected to the Franciscan friars who came to the Central Asian country in the 13th century.There are pilgrims who are not only Catholic inhabitants of Kazakhstan, not only Kazakhstanis, but also from abroad and afar. Cardinal Josef Glemp blessed the church on 9 Aug. 1992, and Bishop Jan Pavel Lenga would later consecrate it.
