An ecumenical centre dedicated to the memory of John Paul II is to be built in Krakow. The city’s new archbishop, Stanislaw Dziwisz, announced it during Sunday mass, broadcast live by Polish state television. According to the country’s media, the project envisages the creation on a large building site covering several hectares of a centre for documentation and teaching of the thought of the pope, as well as a centre for ecumenical dialogue, a school, a library and a museum. “We wish to remember him for what he was said the faithful secretary of John Paul II , for his teaching, for his poetry, for his sensibility to beauty and especially for the love he had for all of us. The centre will be built at Lagiewniki, a district of Krakow that was particularly dear to the heart of John Paul II, who had lived there under the Nazi occupation, in the period when he was a clandestine seminarian and factory worker.
