Vatican department publishes special on WYD

Published: April 22, 2009

The youth department of the Pontifical Council for the Laity has published a special "WYD Magazine" dedicated to World Youth Day 2008 in Sydney.

Issued in four languages, the magazine was published by the John Paul II Foundation for Youth. The 184 page colour magazine features a variety of photos and articles allowing readers "to relive the different stages of this Australian event, from the pilgrimage of the Cross in Oceania to the visit of Pope Benedict XVI," L'Osservatore Romano noted.

Other sections focus on the catechesis sessions, the festival of youth, the Way of the Cross through the streets of Sydney, the Vigil and the Mass at the Randwick Racecourse, and the journey home.

  1. Whilst other Catholic youths are struggling with their lives because of conflict, violence, poverty and oppression; the other spectrum of Catholic Youths ar busy patting each other on the back, with support from the Vatican. Of course, that is just the Law of Nature isn't it, natural justice?!

  2. I was lucky enough to see a copy of this magazine from someone who went to Rome to hand the WYD Cross and Icon to Spain. I would love a copy of my own. Where can I get one?
