Cardinals, and I'm not talking St. Louis

This morning we went to a Catechesis session with...wait for it... Cardinal Dolan from the Archdiocese of New York.



He spoke about the virtue of hope and the threats to that hope, and it was awesome.  We had the double blessing of getting to attend Mass with him.  His homily was a variation on the World Youth Day theme, "Go and Make Disciples," telling us that before you can go, you must first come.  Come to the Lord!  Find your identity in him and in nothing else.

At the end, we met Cardinal Pell, the Archbishop of Sydney, Australia.


We had to visit the Cathedral as a group...you can't be on a Catholic pilgrimage and not visit the Church that is the spiritual heart of the place.  We got a sweet group shot there too.


Tonight will bring us to Life Teen's XLT event an tomorrow we'll welcome Pope Francis!

  1. Very cool. Cardinal Dolan is a star. Based on previous photos the number of pilgrims appears large, but what have the organizers been saying about the estimated total of attendees?
