20 years after the death of San Juan Pablo II, an initiative of an Argentine priest brings his figure to the world of social networks, to continue spreading his legacy among the new generations.
Dead on April 2, 2005 after almost 27 years being the shepherd of the Universal Church, the “Pope Peregrine” Karol Wojtyla was declared holy by Pope Francis on April 27, 2014.

His legacy is still alive in his numerous documents, among which his teachings on human dignity stand out, and human love in the divine plan. In addition, he is remembered for his numerous trips around the world: during his pontificate he made 104 apostolic trips outside Italy and 146 within Italy.
For this reason, and using the new technological tools, Fr. Francisco Javier de Igarzábal created a WhatsApp channel to spread inspiring phrases and videos with teachings of the Polish Pope.
The priest told ACI Prensa that this initiative was born “with the desire to help many people to know and love San Juan Pablo II, approaching his thinking, his example and spirituality in a simple, direct and faithful way to his teaching.”
The channel is simply titled “John Paul II” and is updated daily with brief and deep content, always in communion with the spirit of the Church.
