'Have No Fear!' John Paul II Centre

'Have No Fear!' John Paul II Centre
1.5km from the Sanctuary of Divine Mercy, work on the ambitious 'Have No Fear!' John Paul II Centre is underway, referring to his famous words during his inauguration speech. This enormous complex aims to create a small 'city within a city' that would host independent conferences and accommodate tourists, including a hotel and conference centre, meditation park, rehabilitation centre, Pilgrims' House, Priests' House, the John Paul II Institute (already open), and the John Paul II Museum. Final completion is not expected until 2015, but the unsponsored project is dependent on donations from private institutions and individuals. However, June 2011 saw the opening of the Sanctuary of Blessed John Paul II, a chapel with relics of the former pope, including a vial of his blood and more (open daily 08:00-18:00, hours expected to extend in May). A mobile museum set-up inside a truck is next to the sanctuary and displays an excellent exhibit of never-before-seen objects, including photos of the former pope, his passport, rosary, a sweater, a desk clock stopped at the hour of his death, and some multimedia displays; unfortunately, because it's a travelling exhibit, we can't guarantee it will be there during your visit.
