OF THE ASSUMPTION
The cathedral basilica is associated with two prominent figures of the Polish catholicism, Cardinal Wyszynski and St John Paul II.
"Today’s meeting reminds me of the celebrations which we held here at Sosnowiec in May 1967. In the Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary – the present Cathedral – with the participation of the Primate of the Millennium and other Polish Bishops, we celebrated the millennium. Those were difficult times. Difficult especially for those who wanted to profess their faith and their membership in the Church openly. I remember what great meaning the teaching of the recently concluded Second Vatican Council had at that time. I recall the great hope and strength that was brought particularly by the Council’s teaching on the dignity of the human person and his inalienable rights.”
- St John Paul II
I arrived too early in the morning and the church was still closed. There was a plenitude of statues of St John Paul II.
