PRESS RELEASE
On August 26th, on the Feast of Our Lady of Czestochowa in the afternoon, the Icon's visit to the Czech Ostrava was celebrated. The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass was celebrated by Bishop František Lobkowic, the Ordinary of the Ostrava-Opava Diocese.
Our Lady in "Her" Life Mobile has arrived in Ostrava with great panache led by three motorcycles from Poland and also nine flagged vehicles. In front of the parish church of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Ostrava, near the monastery of the Pauline Fathers, awaited several priests and numerous faithful with their families — the elderly, the young and children. Excitement and joy was vivid on their faces.
The parting with Our Lady on Sunday morning was very emotional. The faithful had white handkerchiefs in their hands, which they used to wave farewell to Our Blessed Mother in the Icon of Czestochowa. As the pastor, Father Krzysztof Ryszka said, since we are from Bielska-Biala then we have to bid Our Blessed Mother goodbye "in white."
The parish of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in the city of Bielsko-Biala has received Our Blessed Mother very solemnly. The altar was surrounded with the most unusual, colorful flowers, and after the official greeting ceremony, the faithful were approaching the Icon individually, in order to offer Mary flowers and well-wishes, as this was the Eve of Our Lady of Czestochowa's own feast day (celebrated in Poland on August 26th).
