At the farewell lunch hosted for Msgr Henryk J, Archbishop Giambattista Diquattro and Bishop Theodore Mascarenhas paid rich tributes to the many qualities of Msgr Henryk. While thanking him profusely, they were sure he would do a very good job in montenego. Fr. Jervis D’Souza, the Deputy Secretary General proposed a vote of thanks.

Monday July 16, 2018 at the Nunciature, a few bishops, priests, religious, the staff of the Nunciature and some friends of Msgr Henryk gathered to wish him a fond farewell. The dinner hosted by Archbishop Giambattista Diquattro was a very touching farewell for Msgr Henryk, as many recollected his pleasant personality, his helpful nature and the vast knowledge, which Msgr Henryk possessed.

Msgr Henryk in his reply said that we must never lose our focus of Jesus. Wherever we go we build His kingdom. While assuring us of his prayers, he asked those present for their prayers.
