Our Dominican Friars assisted the Knights of Columbus with the international English speaking catechetical site and youth festival during World Youth Day 2016 in Krakow with our Holy Father, Pope Francis. In this Jubilee Year of Mercy, several of our friars were stationed at the “Mercy Centre,” where thousands of young people were able receive the merciful love of God, & share their Catholic faith with pilgrims from all over the world.
