Summary/Abstract: Without a doubt, one of the most important events of the past academic year was the canonization of our founder, Pope Blessed John Paul II. It is especially worth noting that the decision about the canonization and its date was announced publicly precisely on the day of our university’s pilgrimage to Kalwaria Zebrzydowska. It was during a consistory on September 30th 2013 that Pope Francis announced that he would canonize two popes, John XXIII and John Paul II, on April 27th 2014, Divine Mercy Sunday.
