World Youth Day 2008
Theme: "You will receive power when the Holy Spirit has
come upon you; and you will be my witnesses." (Acts 1:8)
Thank you to all of the people from the United States who participated in World Youth Day 2008!
A special thanks goes out to all of the US bishops in attendance, as well as the musicians from WLP and Spirit and Song who inspired us with their music.
Our first-ever US WYD gathering was a huge success!
