Europe/Bosnia-Herzegovina - After 57 years Catholics welcome return of Church Weekly

Sarajevo (Fides Service) - Catholics of Sarajevo have once again their weekly newspaper, after a gap of 57 years. At the end of November Katoliciki tjednik the Catholic weekly published by the Catholic archdiocese of Sarajevo resumed its publications after being closed for more than half a century. The paper was established in 1927 by the then Archbishop of Sarajevo Ivan Saric. When Communists came to power in 1945 the paper was banned. Reporting this welcome event to Fides Service the National Director of the Pontifical Mission Societies in Bosnia Herzegovina said: "Today in this post-Communist and post-war time, the new edition of this diocesan weekly is of great importance for the life of the whole local Church and also for individual Catholics who live in a multi religious and multi ethnic society in Bosnia Herzegovina". (Fides Service 20/12/2002)
