On 31 May 2018 the Holy Father appointed H.E. Msgr. Henryk Hoser, S.A.C., archbishop-bishop emeritus of Warszawa-Praga, Poland, as special apostolic visitor for the parish of Medjugorje, for an undefined period and at nutum Sanctae Sedis.

It is an exclusively pastoral office, in continuity with the mission of Holy See Special Envoy for the parish of Medjugorje, entrusted to Msgr. Hoser on 11 February 2017, and concluded by him in recent months.

The mission of the Apostolic Visitor has the aim of ensuring a stable and continuous accompaniment to the parish community of Medjugorje and to the faithful who go there as pilgrims, and whose needs require particular attention.
