The History of one Chapel

Abstract

The article concerns the history of the academic chapel of the John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin. It is based on archival documents and previously unpublished accounts and testimonies. The research paper has several objectives: to show a small fragment that illuminates the situation of the entire Catholic university community, including at a time when KUL was the only university in the so-called socialist countries; it presents prominent figures of the Church and science from an unknown perspective; it shows the determination and need for spiritual values in the scientific community; it proves that a small fragment of reality, like a small mirror, reflects the great problems and historical changes taking place in the country and in the Church.

Keywords:

The John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin, chapel, communism, rector Antoni Słomkowski, Karol Wojtyła
