Artifacts and memorabilia of Pope John Paul II are coming to Lubbock and two other U.S. cities next year.
A Lubbock-based organization managing the U.S. stops says the exhibit will have items from throughout the popular pope’s life, from his childhood in Poland through his death in April of 2005.
John Paul II was acclaimed as one of the most influential leaders of the 20th century. He was instrumental in ending communism in his native Poland and eventually all of Europe.
