Grand premiere of The Way in Cracow
Opening of the cinema in the Museum of St. John Paul II the Great
Grand Premiere
30.07.2024 - on this date we had major breakthrough. That day, together with the Museum of St. John Paul II the Great in Krakow , we opened our first cinema and made the official premiere of The Way. We are proud to finally present The Way to the world!
Among the guests present at the premiere were, clergy, journalists and Catholic publishers. The premiere was decorated with speeches by Fr Jarosław Szymczak, PhD, president of the friendly Family Support Foundation, and Fr Tomasz Szopa, curator of the Sanctuary of St. John Paul II the Great.
The New Evangelism
“It is an idea very close to Saint John Paul II: to transmit the deeper spiritual contents through the beauty. What we are about to see implements exactly these principles. Through the beauty of art we will be able to discover these profound substance linked to the Passion of the Lord Jesus, to the Way of the Cross, but in a new form, very modern. St. John Paul II spoke of the need for a new evangelism. In today's world, we need to use all available technologies in order to reach out to people. These films are the form of new evangelism. I am convinced that our patron is also happy about this,” said Fr Tomasz Szopa, the Curator of the Sanctuary.
“It needs to be watched several times to experience it”
At the premiere, the opinions of ordinary viewers were equally important to us as the opinions of the notable guests. We recorded some of the reviews and you can watch them on the video posted above. We are glad that the films were received with such enthusiasm and commitment.
