Pastoral visit

This is the flyer announcing the annual pastoral visit to the houses on my estate here in Warsaw, and my own translation of its text. The thoughts and comments of my non-Polish friends would be especially appreciated. (But Polish opinions are valid too; you can click on the image to enlarge it, if you wish to dispute the accuracy of my translation.)


ROMAN-CATHOLIC PARISH
OF THE MOST HOLY VIRGIN MARY, MOTHER OF MERCY

"He that receiveth you receiveth me"
Matthew 10:40

Dear Parishioner,
In accordance with the custom accepted in Poland, as part of their pastoral work, every so often priests visit the Families in the area of the parish entrusted to them by the Bishop.

Receiving a priest paying a pastoral visit into one's home is an act of publicly testifying one's faith. At the same time, it is also a sign of the unity and the living link of the domestic Church which the family is, with the parish Church, and likewise with the diocesan and general Church.

This year the priest from our parish of the Most Holy Virgin Mary, Mother of Mercy, will arrive on his pastoral visit on 05.01.2010 from 4 pm.

We ask for the presence of all the possible members of the Family during the pastoral visit.
