Local government pilgrimages in Poland

Overview

In September 2026, Biłgoraj County announced that the V Pilgrimage of Local Government Officials and Village Heads to the sanctuary in Górecko Kościelne would be held on October 4. The event, which also celebrated Village Head Day, had been postponed from May 2026 due to massive forest fires in the Puszcza Solska area affecting the Łuków and Józefów communes. The rescheduling was intended to allow for damage assessments and the implementation of aid programs.

On October 4, the pilgrimage took place as planned. In Górecko Kościelne, Biłgoraj County Starost Andrzej Szarlip recognized the importance of village heads to local residents. The event served as both a religious observance and a means of regional integration. Similar religious pilgrimages involving local officials and community members were also held in the Sandomierz region, specifically in Sulisławice.
