on Wednesday the aim of his visit was to bolster the faith of the Catholic community which in times of religious persecution remained faithful to Jesus Christ and fearlessly faced current challenges. Saluting Croatian pilgrims at a general audience in the Vatican, the pope said the 13 years of Croatia's independence had seen the strengthening of religious structures which now focused on a more penetrating evangelical activity, Croatia's Catholic Press Agency said. "I am entrusting my hundredth apostolic journey to the Holy Virgin, who is so venerated in Croatia, to follow my steps and pray for the Croatian people to have a new spring of faith and civic progress," the Holy Father said.PROGRAMME OF POPE'S UPCOMING VISIT TO CROATIAZAGREB, June 4 (Hina) - Pope
