Pope Francis blesses altar for South Korean Marian shrine

On Wednesday, June 7, 2017, during his General Audience, Pope Francis blessed an altar destined for a Marian shrine in South Korea.

The “Adoratio Domini in unitate et pace” will be placed in the Shrine of Our Lady of the Rosary in Namyang, South Korea.

Pope Francis … said the request for his blessing of the altar was made by the Queen of Peace Community Association in Radom, Poland. The association is setting up 12 centers for Eucharistic Adoration and perpetual prayer for peace in “hotspots” around the world.

The Pope said the group drew its inspiration for the Adoration centers from the “12 stars in the crown of Mary, Queen of Peace”
