The exhibit opened on October 9 and will run until October 21 at the Gateway Mall Activity Area. Organized by the Diocese of Cubao and the Smart Araneta Center, it is part of the preparation for the celebration of the FIRST Feast Day of Blessed John Paul on October 22.
Here is a little information about the exhibit based on the Gateway Mall website:
Pope Relic Exhibit
Since I've been considering including His Holiness as a patron saint of our homeschool ever since he was beatified on Divine Mercy Sunday, I think it would be fitting that our first-ever "official" field trip under the Kingdom-Seekers Academy would be to an exhibit about him.Oct. 9 - 21
Gateway Mall Activity Area
As a fitting prelude to the forthcoming liturgical and musical celebration of Blessed John Paul II, the Araneta Center is launching a Relic and Photo Exhibit of the Newly Blessed. Over 30 relics of BPJP2 will be on display, including his skullcap, rosaries, pontificate seal, World Youth Day commemorative medal and papal chair during his visit to the Araneta Center.
To prepare, I think I'll let the kids watch these cartoon videos featuring Blessed John Paul II from Gloria.TV:
(If clicking on the videos above doesn't work for you, try going to this alternative page, that features the cartoon biography of Blessed John Paul II.)
Also, I'll show them the photos of the exhibit on Araneta Center's Facebook page here, as a preview of sorts.
I am SOOO excited, especially after reading this news article about the exhibit!
Hope the kids will be as excited too! ;-) Pray for us as we pray for you! God bless y'all!
