World Youth Day - Denver, CO
August 1993
I believe World Youth Day 1993 was a Transfiguration for the Church in Northern Colorado - a moment when Jesus smiled on us in a special, joyful, vivid way and invited us into his mission to the world. None of us will ever forget it. Our job this August is not just remembering the beauty and the power of the events of a decade ago, but - even more importantly - passing them on to a new generation of youth Catholics who will carry the Church and Jesus Christ forward into the world.
