JOHN PAUL II
Pope John Paul II, of Polish origin, was a tireless defender of the rights of children, youth, and the elderly. As an athlete, he practiced hiking, skiing, swimming, and canoeing, using sports as a means of fostering values such as friendship, personal improvement, and character building.
He was the only Pope to attend a soccer match. Furthermore, he was a spiritual leader recognized and respected throughout the world, even by political and religious leaders.
With his words “The family, the place where one learns to love and to be loved,” John Paul II left a clear message about the importance of the family nucleus in the life of every human being.
Therefore, this sporting activity, open to the entire community, aims to create a space for unity, reflection, and solidarity, respecting values and generating a climate of brotherhood.
