MOSTAR'S CATHOLIC BISHOP VISITS SERB-OCCUPIED TREBINJE PARISH

MOSTAR, Feb 24 (Hina) - Mostar Bishop Ratko Peric on Wednesday visited the Catholic parish of Trebinje in southern Bosnia- Herzegovina, the Bosnian Croat news agency Habena said. It was the third time Peric visited the Serb-occupied parish during the Bosnian war. The Bishop said mass in the Cathedral of the Nativity of Virgin Mary to a congregation of 159 people, most of them Catholics born in mixed marriages, Habena said. After the mass, Peric distributed Caritas humanitarian aid parcels to the congregation. The Catholic church in Trebinje, except for one bullet hole in the door, had suffered no other damage during the war, the agency said. (hina) mm sd vm 241531 MET feb 95
