WHO IS SAINT JOHN PAUL
THE GREAT?
St John Paul the Great, widely known as Pope John Paul II, served as Pope from 1978 to 2005, and was the second longest serving pope in modern history. A Polish native, John Paul II is recognised as helping to end Communist rule in Poland and eventually all of Europe.
Born Karol Jozef Wotjyla in the small town of Wadowice, as a young boy and even as a priest, Karol was athletic and enjoyed hiking in the mountains. Once called to be a priest, he had to enter an underground seminary established to avoid Nazi surveillance in Poland. He went onto become Archbishop of Krakow, then Cardinal and eventually Pope. During his papacy, he survived two assassination attempts, one of which resulted in serious injury. He is also known as one of the most travelled world leaders in history, visiting 129 countries during his pontificate.
