18.05.2020
On 18th May, 1920, Karol Józef Wojtyła - Pope John Paul II, a saint of the Catholic Church, was born in Wadowice, Poland. This is a very important anniversary not only for us Poles, but also for the whole world, Catholics, clergy, intellectuals and all people who value life, freedom, dialogue and culture.
On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the birth of Karol Wojtyła, the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage of the Republic of Poland in co-operation with many cultural institutions in Poland prepared a number of cultural, educational and scientific events and projects that bring us closer to the life and achievements of Pope John Paul II.
We would like to invite you to a "Virtual Walk" prepared by the Museum of the Family Home of the Holy Father John Paul II in Wadowice. The virtual walk will help you get to know the city of the Pope's origin, the family home, childhood, youth and the most important moments of his life.
We also encourage you to visit the exhibition "Pope of Dialogue" prepared by the Center of Thought of John Paul II on behalf of the MFA.
