From the time of the Jews’ salvation to the present day with its hospitality for Afghan refugees, the Holy See extends its blessings to all Albanians, also welcoming the latest cooperation between the Holy See and the Albanian Government for the establishment of a pilgrimage destination in Tirana with a monument and temple dedicated to the Albanian Saint, Mother Teresa “, the Prime Minister writes.
