Canonization Resource Page
On April 27, 2014, Divine Mercy Sunday, Pope Francis canonized St. John XXIII and St. John Paul II. In honor of this sacred occasion, the Catholic Apostolate Center has created a resource page featuring videos, writings, biographies, and other works of these extraordinary men of faith. Following the canonization, this webpage was updated and now features Pope Francis' homily, photos and a complete video of the canonization. Be sure to take a look by clicking the image below!  |

These include links to the Bible, Divine Office, Catechism of the Catholic Church, many different reflections and the documents from the Second Vatican Council.
