WORLD YOUTH DAY TRIP - SVG - PART V



YOUTH FROM THE DIOCESE OF KINGSTOWN 
Saint Vincent and the Grenadines



PART FIVE
FROM THE CITY OF KRAKOW, POLAND

VIGIL 
AND 
CLOSING MASS WITH  POPE FRANCIS

1.6 MILLION PEOPLE







They walked 10 kilometers to Camp Miserecordia, the venue for the night vigil and closing mass. Tired, they slept overnight in the field.

These photos bring back memories of my backpacking days to Taize, France, of the 1970s. You have to be young to do that! 
I remember exactly how they felt - exhausted, but feeling so good about having the opportunity!

The Pope announced that the next WORLD YOUTH DAYS will be held in Panama. 

That will be a lot closer to home, so maybe a lot more SVG youth will be able to attend!
