FEAST DAY OF POPE JOHN PAUL II ELECTION
Last Monday, October 16th, we celebrated the 39th anniversary of the election of Cardinal Karol Wojtyla as a pope. His formal inauguration took place during Mass in St. Peter’s Square on October 22, 1978. John Paul II was the first Polish Pope, as well as the first Bishop of Rome in 455 years who was not Italian, and at age 58 was the youngest pope elected since Pius IX in 1846. Benedict XVI beatified Pope John Paul II May 1, 2011 and Pope Francis canonized him on April 27, 2014. The liturgical feast of St. John Paul II is on October 22.
