John Paul II was the first Pope to visit the United States. He met privately with Jimmy Carter in the Oval Office. He also spent time in New York and Chicago where he celebrated Mass. Chicago was the largest Catholic archdiocese in the United States at the time and the home of the largest Polish community outside of Poland.
