St. John Paul II. as Patron of Europe
Cardinal Stanisław Dziwisz appealed on October 20, 2017, during the solemn opening of the congress 'Europe Christi' in Częstochowa, to declare St. John Paul II as the patron of Europe.
Our community also fully identifies with the idea of declaring St. John Paul II as the patron of Europe. We share the opinions and arguments of Cardinal Dziwisz. We believe that having the support of a patron who would accompany us in resolving daily problems, understanding us, and interceding for us to find good solutions and necessary graces, will fulfill God’s plans in peace within our hearts.
Europe is currently experiencing deep crises on many levels. We witness controversial political decisions that contradict our Christian morality and conscience. We are subject to ideological pressures. We encounter increasingly diverse viewpoints in our environments, in our families, regarding the relativity of morality and faith.
Europe is drifting further away from its Christian roots.
Twenty, thirty years ago, Pope John Paul II spoke of many threats to the future of Christian Europe. Even then, in his speeches, homilies, and encyclicals, he warned and pointed out the right path.
Could anyone have imagined 30 years ago that one day communism would disappear from Europe?
We firmly believe that through prayer, much can be achieved.
Saint John Paul II, intercede for the renewal of faith in Europe and the world. Intercede for the preservation of Christian values in politics, education, and our social life. Pray for peace. Pray for our families, for the youth, for future generations. Pray for the right to a dignified life, from its beginning to its end.
St. John Paul II, pray for us!

The mystery of every vocation
“But for what God commands, even if it appears humanly impossible, He gives the grace to fulfill it.
This is the mystery of every vocation. Each call changes our plans and opens a new path for us;
and it is astonishing to see to what extent God supports us from within,
how He grants us resonance, how He helps us embrace this new plan and make it our own.”
Pope John Paul II.
The story of
The Prayer Community of St. John Paul II in Vienna
Praying together, growing together!
The community is a prayer group. We meet regularly every second Thursday of the month for adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, Mass’.
One of the main objectives of the group is to recall and deepen the Pope’s teaching, his message. We want to discover its depth and grow in faith together.
We wish to transfer these values to our families, to become witnesses to this teaching in our communities.
The story of
Assosiation "Papstkreuz im Donaupark"
In the cross is salvation, in the cross is hope, in the cross is life!
We are a small association and have existed since June 2010 with the original name “Save the Pope’s Cross”.
Our aim is to keep alive both the place where Pope John Paul II, canonised in 2014, celebrated Mass and the memory of him and his message.
The association has been organising monthly Holy Masses at the Pope’s Cross since 2010. Beforehand, we pray the rosary, after which there is always an opportunity for personal exchange. Occasionally, Eucharistic processions also take place.
Children, Family, Nation
“The society is judged by how it treats its most vulnerable citizens. Among the most vulnerable undoubtedly include unborn children and the dying.”
“A nation that kills its own children has no future.”
“When the family disappears, the nation disappears, and the entire world in which we live also disappears.”
Pope John Paul II.
