Why pilgrims come
A sacred place worth the journey.
The cathedral of the Archdiocese of Vrhbosna and burial place of Servant of God Josip Stadler, its first modern archbishop and founder of the Servants of the Infant Jesus. St. John Paul II prayed here in 1997; Stadler's current canonical title is Servant of God, not Blessed or saint.
