Pope John Paul II Shrine

In Washington, D.C., not far from the National Shrine and just off the campus of Catholic University, there is the Blessed John Paul II Shrine. It was acquired by the Knights of Columbus in 2011 to create a memorial to the Polish Pope and to teach about his contributions to the Church and society. On April 27 Pope John Paul will be canonized in Rome along with Pope John XXIII. The Shrine will then be officially the "Saint" John Paul II Shrine. Next time you are in Washington I hope you can visit.
