The main celebration of the holiday in Krakow at the Sanctuary of John Paul II in Łagiewniki. Among other things, a family picnic was prepared. The special town, by the scholarship holders of the New Millennium Foundation, is to be an expression of gratitude for the presented and suitable for spending time with the family.
Access to the school for the youngest is planned – this year, painting and a sweet cotton pad will create. A similar town at the parish of St. Jadwiga next to Władysława Łokietka Street.
On Sunday, the Church in Poland celebrates the XXII Papal Day under the slogan “The Glow of Truth”
Today
Young people dressed in yellow scarves will also be able to gather at other churches, where they will be a data collector for the further activities of the foundation. Donations can also be made online throughout the month.
There will also be prayers. A mass was celebrated in the sanctuary, presided over by the Archbishop of Kraków. Marek Jędraszewski.
Not easy Photos in a reality ruled by fake news and where there is no place for an objective one
– said the Metropolitan of Krakow. Archbishop Jędraszewski referred to the papal encyclical Veritatis Splendor, or the Glow of Truth:
It was not easy to fix the reality and the desire on brazen lies. Freedom is proclaimed as freedom, as a continuous punctuality to whims and pleasures, where this freedom is primitively captured in the thought of the remembered slogan “do whatever you want”. It was not the Pope, the freedom that John Paul II proclaimed
– summed up the metropolitan of Krakow.
In Wadowice, the Papal Day celebrations take place in front of the John Paul II monument. In turn, at the Museum of the History of Tarnów and the Region, an opening of the exhibition “I am glad that I can be with you today” presenting a visit to the Polish Tsar in Tarnów is planned.
