San Giovanni Paolo II in Ciociaria: un mese di ricordi e celebrazioni, ad iniziare da quella visita 5 giorni dopo le Torri Gemelle…

In brief

The Diocese of Frosinone–Veroli–Ferentino is beginning a month of celebrations and remembrances dedicated to St. John Paul II. The commemorations highlight his visit to the Ciociaria region, which took place five days after the attacks on the Twin Towers in New York.

According to the diocese, the visit occurred during a period of global fear and uncertainty. At that time, many people feared further strikes against world leaders or potential attacks against Rome and the Vatican.
