HIS HOLINESS
POPE JOHN PAUL II

 
                    Karol Wojtyla was born in 1920 near
                    Krakow, Poland. Clever and good at sports
                    at school he also showed talent as an actor.

During the war he continued his studies at an underground
university while labouring in a quarry. Two serious accidents and
the death of his Father led him to study the writings of St. John of
the Cross - a great mystic - and he became convinced he had a
vocation for the priesthood. He studied at the illegal university
theological department and was ordained in 1946. After two years
in Rome he returned to Poland where he served in various parishes
before being ordained Bishop in 1958. Archbishop of Krakow in
1964, Cardinal in 1967 he was elected the first Polish Pope in the
history of the Church in 1978.
