Catholic Intelligence1 min read

Archbishop Adam Szal visited a primary school in Wesoła on Monday, October 26, 2026, during a canonical visitation of the parish of St. Catherine. During the meeting with students, teachers, and school administration, the Metropolitan of Przemyśl explained the meaning of various episcopal symbols and liturgical vestments.

The archbishop described his pectoral cross as a significant item worn over the heart. He compared the episcopal ring to a wedding band, explaining that it symbolizes a bishop's bond to the Church and his diocese.

Archbishop Szal also detailed the construction of the zucchetto, noting its eight triangular elements represent eight blessings. He discussed the mitre and the pastoral staff, which he described as a symbol of service and leading people as a good shepherd. During the visit, the archbishop also participated in a ceremony for first-grade students and blessed school supplies.
