The Apostolic Nuncio in Poland, Monsignor Antonio Guido Filipazzi, administered the sacrament of Confirmation according to the traditional rite in Latin on May 2 in Warsaw.
According to Rorate Caeli, the celebration took place in the Camaldolese church of the Polish capital, where about fifty faithful received the sacrament in the traditional form.
The ceremony took place within the framework of the liturgy according to the ancient Roman rite, with the participation of a community served by the Institute of the Good Shepherd (IBP), an apostolic life society that celebrates the liturgy in accordance with the books prior to the post-conciliar reform.
In addition to conferring Confirmation, the Apostolic Nuncio was present at the celebration of Holy Mass according to the traditional rite, on a day marked by the attendance of faithful linked to this liturgical form.
Celebration in a stable community of the faithful
The Camaldolese church in Warsaw regularly hosts celebrations in the traditional rite, within the context of the pastoral activity of the Institute of the Good Shepherd in Poland.
The administration of the sacrament by the pontifical representative is framed within the ordinary life of the local Church and the care for communities that participate in the traditional liturgy.
