Our Blessed Mother in the Czestochowa Icon arrived in Munich on the first day of the pilgrimage through Germany (October 24) and initially visited the church of St. Joseph, belonging to the Polish Mission. The visit schedule for the German region was so full that the Polish faithful did not receive the Icon until 11:00 pm.

The representatives of the German pro-life organizations just did not make it for the celebration of the Eucharist in St. Gallen on the Swiss side of the border, even though they greatly desired to be there. It began with a breakdown of their car engine, which simply just "did not start." Frustrated, they had to rent the right type of vehicle which they used to drive directly to the cathedral in city of Constance (Ger. Konstanz).

The collegiate church St. Gallus and St. Otmar was the last prayer stop in Switzerland. It was a very quiet morning. Here we should say goodbye to the icon together with our German friends Georg Fleischmann and Wolfgang Hering. Not long before 8 o’clock Georg Fleischmann called to tell me they won’t make it to St. Gallen because of a problem with the car.
