The response from the young people has been wonderful...
It truly is amazing to see the excitement in their faces. Here is picture of the Holy Father attending a youth rally, earlier this year, at St. Joseph's Seminary in Yonkers, NY.
Thank you NYer. Mary and I will have our grandson, Peter, in attendance.
We will be watching.
Thank you so much for providing that link! It is wonderful, and gives a real sense of being in Sydney, along with some tidbits on what it is like to be on of the Sisters of Life.
Thanks again!
