Pope Francis’ three-day apostolic visit to Hungary began on April 28, 2023. On the occasion of the anniversary, on April 28, in the studio program commemorating the event, the public media will relive the most beautiful moments and the messages that were said on the Danube at that time.
Pope Francis visited Hungary a year ago. All public programs were broadcast live by Duna, M1 and Kossuth Rádió. The Hungarians of the world were able to reach the thoughts of Pope Francis through the mediation of Duna World. With one of the most significant events of recent years, the public media stream reached two million viewers.
The most important messages of the apostolic visit were social justice, the fight against poverty and the ecological crisis, as well as the protection of human rights and the creation of peace. The event from a year ago will be recalled live on April 28 by Duna.
The relived moments show how the Hungarian audience experienced the meeting with the Bishop of Rome at this time last year. Szilárd Horváth’s guests share their personal experiences about how the personal presence of the Holy Father affected them.

The Hungarian Catholic Church organized a Hungarian National Pilgrimage to Rome as an expression of gratitude for the apostolic visit to Hungary a year ago. The pilgrimage announced by the Hungarian Catholic Bishops’ Conference offers believers the opportunity to get closer to Pope Francis and strengthen their faith.
In addition to the Masses in Hungarian, Pope Francis personally receives the Hungarian pilgrims. The religious editorial board of the public media is making a documentary film about the pilgrimage, so those who cannot attend the event in person can also participate. Kossuth Radio recalls the Pope’s visit in its Pentecost program with the help of those who met Pope Francis in Rome on the occasion of the anniversary.
