Here is a link to the WDIO Interview with Father Kunst & about the upcoming Vatican Unveiled Event: January 2026 MOA
Not that many people have met the Pope, let alone four of them. But Father Richard Kunst has. He even shook hands with Pope Leo, the first American leader of the Catholic Church.
“It was on October 29th, after his Wednesday audience,” he recalled.
A memory that he’s adding to his collection. And beyond that, Kunst continues to add to the Vatican Unveiled collection he curates. It’s the largest papal artifact collection outside of Rome.
Soon it will be on display at the Mall of America.
“It’s the archdiocese of St. Paul Minneapolis that’s renting the exhibit to celebrate the 175th anniversary as a diocese. So that’s the event and that’s the reason why it’s happening,” Kunst told us.
Proceeds from the event will benefit Stella Maris Academy.
You do need to get tickets to see it. The run is January 10th-February 1st.
