| John Paul II
Pope John Paul II made an historic visit to Cuba January 21-25, 1998. It is the first time a pope has visited the island nation ever and the first time he was welcome since Fidel Castro rose to power in the Communist Revolution of 1959. The pope met with Castro, visited the University of Havana, visited a leprosy center and met with religious leaders. He celebrated Mass in cities including Santiago de Cuba.
