A museum exhibit on the legacy of Blessed John Paul II will begin its U.S. tour at New Orleans’ Notre Dame Seminary in February 2013.
Archbishop Gregory Aymond of New Orleans made the announcement “with great joy and excitement” at an April 13 press conference.
“Receiving this exhibit is not only a great honor for our archdiocese, but an opportunity for us to enter more deeply into our work of evangelization, carrying on the legacy of Bl. John Paul II,” the archbishop said. “Pope Benedict XVI has named the upcoming year a ‘Year of Faith’ and by hosting this exhibit, we are attempting to answer his call.”
The new exhibit, titled “I Have Come To You Again,” has over 100 items from the personal possessions of Bl. John Paul II. The items come from the Pope John Paul II Center in Krakow, Poland and from the Vatican Collections.
