In the evening, we gather for an introductory biography of Pope John Paul II's life in Poland to lay a foundation for the many sites we visit during our stay. We celebrate Mass at the Franciscan Church, where Karol Wojtyla had "his own" bench and came to pray as a student. (D) | | Day 3 | Krakow | Krakow : We visit the famous salt mines of Wieliczka exploring the subterranean world of labyrinth passages, giant caverns, underground lakes and chapels with sculptures in the crystalline salt. In Wadowice, Pope John Paul II's birthplace, we pay tribute to his early life with stops at his home, schools and the church, where he was baptized. Returning to Krakow, time permitting, we see his University, Tyniecka Street home and the family tomb at Rakowiecki.

Our Krakow tour begins with the Barbican - a medieval fortress, Market Square - Europe's largest medieval square, Cloth Hall, the twin towers of Gothic St. Mary's Basilica, Royal Castle and Cathedral on Wawel Hill. This afternoon we tour St. Florians, where the Pope was assistant pastor and served as students' chaplain. Then to the Cathedral of Wawel, site of his ordination as Bishop on September 28, 1958.

Our Mass follows the lecture at Antalowka Church. (B, D) | | Day 7 | Warsaw | Warsaw : Returning to Warsaw, we stop in Czestochowa - situated at the foot of Jasna Gora Monastery, the spiritual capital of Poland. The city's blend of religious, spiritual and artistic traditions creates its unique atmosphere. Pilgrims have come to Jasna Gora Pauline Monastery to find consolation and express their gratitude to God since 1382 when Prince Ladislaus II of Opole invited Pauline monks from Hungary to Poland. The Monastery's miraculous picture of Our Lady was crowned with papal diadems in 1717 and in the 20th-century was called the "Black Madonna" due to its discoloration from candles lit in supplication. More than five million pilgrims visit annually. (Only Fatima hosts more visitors.) We explore the treasures of Jasna Gora led by one of the Pauline monks and celebrate Mass in the Monastery. (B, D) | | Day 8 | Warsaw | Warsaw : We celebrate Mass at the Church of Holy Cross, where the heart of Frederic Chopin is buried. Our Warsaw tour features Old Town, Market Square, the massive Ghetto monument, Chopin statue and Royal Castle. We visit the tomb of Fr. Jerzy Popieluszko whose murder during the reign of Communism could not defeat the faith of the Polish people, as he was later beatified by the Pope for his service to the church. We enjoy our final dinner together. (B, D) | | Day 9 | New York | New York, NY : We say farewell to Poland as we board our flight home. (B) |
