BISHOP KOS FORWARDS MESSAGE TO EXILED FAITHFULS ON OCCASION OF ALL

ALL $ SAINTS' DAY DJAKOVO, Oct 31 (Hina) - Roman Catholic Bishop of Djakovo and Sirmium, Msgr. Ciril Kos, sent a message to the faithful ahead of the All Saints' Day. "We thank the transitional administration in the Croatian Danubian area and international powers for making it possible this year for us to visit 30 towns and villages, and tour cemeteries where we have not been for more than five years," Bishop Kos said adding that the access to some graveyards in the area would be impossible for security reasons. "An unlimited number (of displaced persons-visitors) to every village and town is also not possible, but let us accept with gratitude what has been ensured," the Bishop said in the message. The Bishop voiced an ardent hope that next year all expelled people would be enabled to visit cemeteries in entire Baranja, eastern Slavonia and western Sirmium. He called on the faithful to pay a dignified visit to the graveyards tomorrow, and asked them to have love in their hearts and to "repay evil by good". (hina) mš 311609 MET oct 96
