Pope Saint John Paul II (18 May 1920 2 April 2005) reigned as the 264th Pope of the Roman Catholic Church and Sovereign of the State of the Vatican City from 16 October 1978, until his death, almost 27 years later, making his the second-longest pontificate in modern times after Pius IX's 31-year reign. He is the only Polish pope, and was the first non-Italian pope since the Dutch Adrian VI in the 1520s. He is one of only four people to have been named to the Time 100 for both the 20th century and for a year in the 21st. He was made the patron of World Youth Day for 2008 in Sydney, Australia. He started those days for youth in 1986. Pope Saint John Paull II was Canonized into Sainthood on April 27, 2014 along with Pope Saint John XXIII.
