On this occasion the Meeting wants to remember the figure of this great pope who visited the Meeting in 1982, leaving a mark that has never been forgotten and a task that in the course of the years has been the driving force of this work: “To generate a civilization born out of truth and love. Build this civilization tiredlessly! This is task that I give you today. Work for this, pray for this, suffer for this!”

On April 8 in Rimini there will be a presentation titled “August 29, 1982. John Paul II in the beautiful and dear Rimini” at 9:15pm in the Palacongressi, Via della Fiera, 52.
