“The Foundation is committed to preserving the documents relating to this Pontificate and to spreading the teachings of the Church's Magisterium. It is necessary that this patrimony of good, born in this period of history by divine grace, remain for the future generations”.
(John Paul II, November 4, 2003)

The documents have not only historical value, but are a testimony as well, of how the pontificate of John Paul II entered in the plan of Divine Providence and in the lives of people. The documents reflect the nature of the universal Church in which fruitful encounter has a place between the Gospel message and different cultures. We hope that the materials gathered in the Archives, in the Library and the Museum will be an important reference point for present and future generations, a challenge for living their Christian faith deeply.
