In the summer of 1976 at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point, Professor Dr. Waclav Soroka invited Cardinal Stefan Wyszynski to be the keynote speaker at the next meeting of the Annual Lectures on Poland. Cardinal Wyszynski was an old friend, and Soroka hoped to shed some light on the plight of the Polish people under Communist rule. However, the Cardinal could not make it, so he made a suggestion-invite the "other Polish Cardinal" The "other Polish cardinal" as he was known at the time, was Cardinal Karol Wojtyla. Providentially he was attending the International Eucharistic Congress in Philadelphia that summer and was willing to travel to a small rural city in central Wisconsin to give the academic lecture. Little did anyone know at the time that they would be welcoming a future Pope (John Paul II) as well as a living saint.

6 of 6 people found the following review helpful. this is a must-read for anyone of Polish descent as well anyone looking for evidence that nothing changes lives like true holine By Father Samuel Martin Reading this book was as delightful as it was edifying! Any book about Saint Pope John Paul II is sure to inspire, but this is an unknown story that is especially touching in that it manifests the humility and goodness of the future Pope John Paul II. Set in rural Wisconsin, this is a must-read for anyone of Polish descent as well anyone looking for evidence that nothing changes lives like true holiness. Kosloski writes with a beautifully natural and accessible style that draws one into the story right from the outset. I highly recommend this book to anyone hoping to become a saint - it will both foster and further that aspiration admirably!

An excellent read By Franz S Klein I grew up Stevens Point, and I recall seeing pictures from Karol Cardinal Wojtyla's visit in local parish history books and hearing about it from people who had actually been part of the events. Philip has written a short, eminently readable account of a treasured local connection to one of the greatest figures in recent history. Although the Wisconsin visit may have been a small event in the life of a great man, it was a large event for the people of Central Wisconsin, especially those of Polish descent, and it became all the larger with the Polish cardinal's quick ascension to the papacy. I particularly enjoyed the anecdote Philip shares about the exchange between Wojtyla and Lee S. Dreyfus, then the chancellor of the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point. Dreyfus complimented the Polish cardinal, telling him that he would be happy to see him become pope if ever a non-Italian were elected. Wojtyla responded by quipping that he would be pope as soon as Dreyfus became the next governor of Wisconsin. Lo and behold, that's exactly what happened! I congratulate Philip on a job well done and thoroughly recommend his book to readers from Wisconsin and beyond.

3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Great Book, Wonderful Read! By Shaun McAfee First, I love Wisconsin.I know the route from Madison to Rheinlander pretty well, traversing the highway for cabin trips nearly every summer. Stoping for food at my favorite Culvers in Stevens Point, and onward north to the lake-region, Stevens Point has been nothing much more than a pass-through town on my way to some other destination. That's changed with the reading of Philip's new, and first book.I've kept up with Philip's great spiritual blog - the young man has promise. I had no idea he would write such an entertaining account of Wojtyla's 1976 trip to the UW-Stevens Point. Like I said, my opinion of this small rural town has matriculated to the point where I must find these landmarks and reimagine this great scene.Kosloski covers of the Cardinal's visit the story from beginning to end, detailing the events leading up to the speech, the historical formation of Polish-Catholicism and Polish-Catholic life in Wisconsin, and the legacy of the man who would become Pope John Paul II. There's a lot of great facts presented in in the book that made me smile, like the hype of the speech only to be disappointed by the miscalculation of Wojtyla's idea of who his audience would be. Philip's book is great and it's a must-have for anyone who wants to know more about the wonderful Polish Cardinal. Highly suggested for students of the history of American-Catholicism, as his part played, no-doubt, a defining role in the shaping of evangelism/formation of American Catholics.
