You are the little messengers of beauty. The world needs your singing, for the language of beauty moves hearts and contributes to the encounter with God.

-Pope John Paul II, in an address to Pueri Cantores International

In July 2007, the 34th International Congress of Pueri Cantores will serve as a pilgrimage to Krakow, Poland, and a walk in the Footsteps of John Paul II. Once again, Music Celebrations is partnering with the American Federation Pueri Cantores to assist Catholic youth choirs in making this experience a reality.

Karol Wojtyla, now forever known as Pope John Paul the Great, lived in Krakow for four decades. It is here where he spent his formative years as a student, librarian, athlete, playwright, actor, philosopher, linguist, and young priest.

Stanisław Cardinal Dziwisz, John Paul II’s secretary and confidant for many years, will host and greet participating choirs in Krakow. Journeyers will also be blessed to visit Wadowice, birthplace of John Paul the Great.
