Baku / 05/01/19 / Turan: Late in the evening on May 31, the official visit of the President of Poland Andrzej Duda to Azerbaijan ended.
On Friday afternoon, the President of Poland visited the Catholic Church of St. Mary in Baku.
The bishop of the Catholic Church in Azerbaijan, Vladimir Fekete, informed the President of Poland about the history of the church and the conditions created for Catholics.
The area in which the church is located was consecrated by Cardinal Toran, the head of the Vatican delegation in Azerbaijan in 2004, in accordance with the tradition of the Roman Catholic Church.
The official opening of the church, where 250-300 people can pray at the same time, was held in 2008 with the participation of the President of Azerbaijan and the Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone. -02D-
