“If there had been no Rome, Krakow would have been Rome.”
That’s what a 16th century Vatican legate said of this noble Catholic city. Certainly, in terms of the number of churches, religious houses and saints and the highly visible presence of Catholic culture, Krakow can be considered “a Second Rome.” Join Dr. Sri and Fr. Kastel for daily Masses, prayer, teachings, and Polish hospitality! Limited spots available.
