Pilgrimage in the Footsteps 
of Karol Wojtyla the Worker


(ANS – Krakow, Poland – October 15, 2021)
- The 17th Pilgrimage in the Footsteps of Karol Wojtyla the Worker took place on October 9, attended by the faithful from the Salesian parish of St. Stanislaus Kostka in the Dębniki district of Krakow, and other pilgrims. During World War II, young Karol Wojtyla went from Dębniki to the Solvay factory where he worked (1940-1944): first in the Zakrzowek stone quarry, and then as a worker at the water filtration plant. The pilgrims, starting from the Salesian parish church, retraced several roads to Zakrzowek. Then, once they reached the John Paul II Center, they participated in Mass, presided over by Fr. Marek Dąbek, SDB, provincial coordinator of altar servers. At the end of the celebration, Fr. Andrzej Krol, SDB, provincial delegate for youth ministry, presented scholarships to 30 young people from the province, as a sign of appreciation for their commitment to spiritual and intellectual development.
