Holy Father John Paul II

Highlights include Lagiewniki, Kalwaria and Wadowice - Pope John Paul II birthplace.

LAGIEWNIKI district of Kraków is famous thanks to Saint Sister Faustina, an apostle of the Divine Mercy. Sister Mary Faustina Kowalska  promulgated the worship of God's Charity and the painting "Jesus, I Trust You"  the shrine of DIVINE MERCY. Annually, each Leading Sunday, pilgrimages from all over Europe arrive to pray in front of the miraculous likeness and Saint Faustina's tomb. On 17th August 2002, the Pope John Paul II consecrated the newly built Basilica and devoted the whole World to the Divine Mercy.

After visiting the sanctuary of Saint Faustina the tour is going for Kalwaria Zebrzydowska, also a destination for tourists and pilgrims. There is a famous Way of the Cross with 42 chapels illustrating Christ's passion.

Among other historic sights noteworthy are: the church and the monastery of Friars Observant, dating back to the 17th century, as well as their rich furnishing. The famous, reportedly miraculous picture of Our Lady of Kalwaria is particularly interesting. Kalwaria Zebrzydowska is entered on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

WADOWICE - is the town where the Pope John Paul II was born. Here you will visit his family house and parish church dating back to the 15th c.

A donation to the church would be welcome.
