Remembering Pope John Paul II

Monday April 3, 2006
It's hard to believe that it has already been a year since the death of Pope John Paul II. One of the world's most well-loved pontiffs is still remembered by millions of people from every religion. Thousands still visit his burial site each day. A wonderful legacy for a Polish man born as Karol Josef Wojtyla, the second son of Karol Wojtyla Sr., a retired army officer and tailor, and Emilia Kaczorowska Wojtyla, a schoolteacher of Lithuanian descent.
