Post Number 500!


St. John Paul II’s pontificate began with these words:

Do not be afraid. Open wide the doors for Christ.

Back in 2012, we launched Open Wide the Doors with the goal of keeping future pilgrims and visitors up to date on special events, temporary exhibits, and the renovation schedule for the permanent exhibit at the Saint John Paul II National Shrine. We also set out with the mission to provide weekly inspiration from St. John Paul II’s own life and words, and to report on how the New Evangelization is blossoming in our world today.

In addition to keeping up with these goals, we’ve been blessed in this time to reflect upon the Year of Faith, the Synod on the New Evangelization, and World Youth Day Rio. And of course, we were able to countdown to and celebrate the canonization of our beloved St. John Paul II.

Thank you for accompanying us this far on our journey towards honoring John Paul II! Please stay tuned as we prepare to open our permanent exhibit on the life and legacy of this great saint.

St. John Paul II, Pray for Us!
