World Youth Day Pilgrimage

 Today we had another good session of catechesis with Archbishop Dolan from New York.  Over the past couple of days many pilgrims from our group have had an opportunity to sit front row at these sessions.  Here's a picture below of some of the group that went down today!  

Some of us walked and prayed the Stations of the Cross with Father Rick and Father Andy in the afternoon.  It was a good experience for us because it was very hot with lots of people which gave us a deeper meaning of what Jesus went through.  We ended this unexpectedly at a church we passed by that was having adoration.  Just beautiful!!!

 The Stations of the Cross were also life size!  Here's a picture!

Tomorrow is going to be GREAT!  We are going to start the day off with a special Mass with only our group.  The four seminarians that are traveling with us will also be having a Mass with the Pope and all other seminarians from all over the world!  Then we will be taking a pilgrimage to an open air field where we will be spending the night that starts with a prayer vigil in anticipation of the closing Mass with our Holy Father!  Stay tuned for updates of this event soon!
