World Youth Day in Rio...Our Diocesan Delegation


Pictured above is the World Youth Day delegation representing our Diocese led by Fr. Victor DeGagne.  This picture was taken at last week's send-off Mass for the pilgrims at St. Dominic's Church presided over by Bishop Fred Colli. 

Our diocesan pilgrims have now arrived in Rio along with over 300,000 other young Catholics who have made their way to Brazil for this week-long celebration of faith.  One of the most notable pilgrims, Pope Francis, arrived in the city yesterday.  Upwards of three million people are expected to take part in the concluding Mass on Sunday. 

Salt & Light Television will be providing coverage of all the main events.  For a schedule of programs and other feature presentations visit www.wydcentral.org .
