"And how does this happen to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? For at the moment the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the infant in my womb leaped for joy."

(Luke 1:43-44)

St. John Paul II writes on that the Holy Trinity is "a divine mystery that challenges and involves us, because a share in the Trinitarian life was given to us through grace, through the redemptive Incarnation of the Word and the gift of the Holy Spirit."

- St. John Paul II, General Audience, March 10 ,1999

Credo in Spiritum Sanctum, Dominum et vivificantem: I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the Giver of life.

Join us in celebrating the birthday of our patron! Today would have been his 106th birthday. We thank him for his intercession and guidance over the Foundation.

St. John Paul II, pray for us!

On this day 12 years ago, the St. John Paul II Foundation was launched to provide education and formation to married couples, health care professionals, and clergy.

Please join us in celebrating!

"The moral and spiritual strength of a woman is joined to her awareness that God entrusts the human being to her in a special way. Of course, God entrusts every human being to each and every other human being. But this entrusting concerns women in a special way - precisely by reason of their femininity - and this in a particular way determines their vocation."

St. John Paul II, Mulieris dignitatem, 1988

“St. Joseph is the model of those humble ones that Christianity raises up to great destinies;…he is the proof that in order to be a good and genuine follower of Christ, there is no need of great things-it is enough to have the common, simple and human virtues, but they need to be true and authentic."

St. John Paul II, Redemptoris custos, August 15, 1989

"Today a new Bishop comes to the Chair of Peter in Rome, a Bishop full of trepidation, conscious of his unworthiness. And how could one not tremble before the greatness of this call and before the universal mission of this See of Rome!"

St. John Paull II, Inaugural Homily, October 22, 1978
