PREMIO SAN GIOVANNI PAOLO II
The Premio San Giovanni Paolo II inspires action and holiness. In the spirit of John Paul II, it supports Christian values and helps make the world a better place.
The Premio San Giovanni Paolo II was established ‘to promote knowledge of the thought and work of John Paul II and of his influence on the life of the Church and society’, and to recognise individuals, organisations and initiatives that draw inspiration from the teaching of St John Paul II in their academic, cultural and social activities. The prize honours those who, through their work, continue his legacy and translate the values he proclaimed into concrete action in the Church and in the world.
