The Vatican Comes to Duluth exhibit featured items from the largest privately owned Collection of papal manuscripts in North America. Father Richard Kunst of (now) St. John’s Church in Duluth started this collection while working for the U. S. Senate. Through the years, his Collection has grown and is now so substantial that colleagues encouraged him to share these significant artifacts through a public viewing.

The Vatican Comes to Duluth was the exhibit that resulted in this endeavor.

Papal Artifacts honors the initial efforts that eventually resulted in what is now the Papal Artifacts Website.

Congratulations to those of you who generously contributed to The Vatican Comes to Duluth 2004.
