CLEVELAND, Ohio — On Sunday January 19, 2020, Bishop Milan Lach, SJ visited St. Nicholas Croatian Byzantine Catholic Church in Cleveland, Ohio.
A pastoral visit is the annual visitation of the bishop to parishes in order for him to know them better and more personally. It is a fatherly inquiry in order to strengthen the faithful and the parish priest, and to keep them on the right course by correcting any possible deviations from the truth of the Gospel.
"
The pastoral visit is an apostolic endeavour, an event of grace." (Directory of Bishops)
