The John Paul II ‘Be Not Afraid’ Center, and Sanctuary (Krakow, Poland)
OUR HOME
Participants of all of our programs, from study abroad students to summer pilgrims, get to live here! No place fits us better than this spiritual and culture center for carrying out John Paul II’s legacy. Plus, we’re the first lay, young people living in this brand-new residence, along with the many generous priests who serve the sanctuary (and us, with opportunities for Masses and confession in English!)

AFFILIATE FOR SUMMER TERM
Grand Rapids Michigan, home of Aquinas College, historically has strong Polish roots. These roots are now reinforced as this institution offers a summer study abroad experience through the JP2 Project.

We hope to see their peers living in Poland soon!
