Poland 5: Wadowice, Hometown of Pope JP II

by Steve Ray on April 27, 2025

Always a highlight of a Catholic pilgrimage to Poland, Wadowice the birthplace of St. John Paul II and his childhood home, which is now a museum with more pictures and memorabilia than anywhere else in the world.

We celebrated Mass at his boyhood parish, the Basilica of the Virgin Mary. Lunch on our own in the lovely village. Back to Kraków for free time before traditional duck dinner at Wierzynek Restaurant.
