Lednica 2000 The Poland-wide Youth Meeting Lednica 2000 is an annual gathering of Polish Catholic youth, organized near Gniezno in Pola Lednickie (near the Lednica lake, which is believed to be the place where the first Polish monarch, Mieszko I was baptized in 966). It is the largest regular religious youth meeting in the world (with exception of those attended by the Pope). Lednica gatherings were initiated in 1997 by Jan Góra. Since then, they are organized every year and always take place on the first Saturday of June. Pope John Paul II sent an annual special message to participants of Lednica. This tradition was continued by his successor, Benedict XVI. After his papal resignation, the tradition is continued by pope Francis.

Criticism During the 2005 Polish parliamentary election, Jan Góra took part in the election campaign of the Law and Justice candidate to the Senate, Przemysław Alexandrowicz. After a TV commercial with his participation was broadcast by TVP3 Poznań, Góra explained that he did not recommend Alexandrowicz, but gave him references because he had known him for 28 years. Góra caused consternation in the authorities of the Dominican order with his participation in the election campaign. Right-wing circles criticized the Lednica meetings organized by Góra, accusing them of being theatrical and infantile, and of upsetting the proportions between a prayer meeting and a music concert. As a result, the Lednica meetings, as well as Jan Góra himself, were accused of disturbing the "purity of the liturgy" and of "non-liturgical behavior".
