Cistarsian Fathers
The Cistercian Fathers Polish Mission in Willow Springs, Illinois, is home to the Archdiocesan Shrine of St. John Paul II, established in October 2014 by the decree of the late Francis Cardinal George. This shrine honors the legacy of Pope John Paul II, born Karol Józef Wojtyła, who was ordained a priest in 1946 and later became the first Polish Pope in 1978.
As a designated pilgrimage site, the shrine offers a spiritual haven for reflection and worship, especially during significant liturgical seasons. In July, the mission invites faithful to participate in events honoring the Most Precious Blood of Christ, encouraging deeper meditation on the value of redemption and gratitude.
