On Sunday, May 22, 2022, the John Paul II Foundation scholarship recipients participated in the annual Foundation Day, which traditionally took place in the Retreat House of the Sacred Heart Fathers in Pliszczyna near Lublin. The Foundation Day referred to the anniversary of the St. John Paul II’s birth.
The meeting of the scholarship recipients began with the Eucharist celebrated by Fr Bartosz Mrozek, a Sacred Heart Father. In his sermon he referred to the words of the Sunday’s Gospel: “Do not let your hearts be troubled or afraid. “ (J 14:27). He emphasized that in human life it is important to open oneself to another person and to God’s love. Not to be afraid – this also means to forgive another person, but also to allow oneself to be forgiven.
After the Holy Mass, the scholarship recipients enjoyed a picnic, during which they could eat delicious grilled dishes, prepared by the treasurer of the House, Fr Andrzej Pomazański.
