The election of Cardinal Wojtyła, Pope John Paul II, recalled by the former rector of the Polish College, where he was living
“The day after Cardinal Karol Wojtyła’s election as Pope John Paul II, Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński asked him how he felt as Pope. John Paul II answered that he felt as if he had always been here.

The Vatican and Polish Postal Services Issue a Stamp Commemorating the Centennial of John Paul II’s Birth and His Election as Pope
On Friday, October 16th of this year, the day of the 42nd anniversary of John Paul II’s election, Poczta Polska has issued, in cooperation with the Poste Vaticane, a stamp with the image of the Polish Pope. The centennial of his birth, which falls this year, is also celebrated in this way, the Press Office of Poczta Polska stated.
The project’s designer, Agnieszka Sobczyńska, presented the picture of Saint John Paul II with a halo on the stamp, over the background of a decorative element—a fragment of embroidery done by Sister Lucia dos Santos (a Portuguese nun, a witness of Mary’s apparitions in Fatima in 1917). The stamp’s tag bears, in its lower-left corner, the number 100 composed with the two keys of the papal coat of arms. Three graphic versions of the stamp are available: one shows Karol Wojtyła with his mother; another Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński, the Primate of Poland, and Cardinal Karol Wojtyła; and the third, Pope John Paul II in St. Peter’s Square in Rome, says the Press Office of the Polish Post

Bishop Czaja: In spite of difficult issues, we must believe in the Church and trust Her
We take it to be our main goal to show to Catholics that in spite of difficult issues, we must believe in the Church and trust Her. We need to believe in the Church because it is a dual reality, Divine and human. We must trust the Church because She is founded on the authority of God Himself - said Bishop Andrzej Czaja, Chairman of the Pastoral Ministry Commission of the Polish Bishops’ Conference. A new Pastoral Program for the year 2022/2023 was presented during a press conference in the Secretariat of the Polish Bishops’ Conference.
