The 2013 film narrated by Martin Sheen tells the story of Blessed Jerzy Popiełuszko, a young priest who was killed for his efforts to free the Polish people from Communism. The film will screen from 3:30 p.m. – 5 p.m. in the Luminous Mysteries chapel. There will be an opportunity to venerate a relic of Blessed Jerzy Popiełuszko.
The pilgrimage and screening are just two of several activities to celebrate in the days leading up to the feast day of St. John Paul II on October 22. For more information about other events, visit jp2shrine.org.
