SPECIAL POPE JOHN PAUL II PROGRAMMING

DON’T TURN BACK (60:00)

Every two years, millions of teens from around the world come together with the pope for World Youth Day. This video is the true story of what happened to seven of them from the United States during WYD in Rome in 2000, and their story is inspiring to say the least. Challenged to their very core by profound spiritual experiences, these seven do some serious soul-searching. Grappling with fears, friendships, and faith they cling to their only source of hope. Change is hard, going home harder, but after this trip there’s no turning back.

SPECIAL POPE JOHN PAUL II PROGRAMMING

JOHN PAUL II AND HIS FRIEND (60:00)

A Polish documentary about the lifelong friendship between the Pope John Paul II and Jurek Kluger, a Jew, from their early childhood as schoolmates up to the present day. They lost touch with each other at the start of World War II and were reunited during the Second Vatican Council, at which point the two friends became reacquainted. So much so, that the Pope would eventually baptize Jurek’s granddaughter into the Catholic Church. Jurek was instrumental in arranging the Pope’s visit to the Roman Synagogue, the first ever visit by a Pope.

SPECIAL LITURGICAL PROGRAMMING

ROME'S HIDDEN CHURCHES: A LENTEN PILGRIMAGE (SAP) (10:00)

The practice of the bishop, his clergy and people processing to different “stational churches” for Mass during Lent dates from fourth century Jerusalem. In Rome this pious Lenten pilgrimage was greatly enriched with indulgences. Today, the Pope still begins Lent by traveling to Santa Sabina, the first Station Church of Rome. Prepare for Easter yourself by joining EWTN as we visit many of Rome’s Stational Churches this Lent.
