Welcoming Pope Francis

South Florida pilgrims join 1 million young people in Krakow for World Youth Day

KRAKOW, Poland | Jubilant pilgrims, including nearly 500 from South Florida, welcomed Pope Francis July 28 to World Youth Day in Krakow, Poland. An estimated 1 million young people from 187 countries crowded into Blonia Park for what has been called the Catholic Woodstock.

“Today the Church looks to you and wants to learn from you, to be reassured that the Father’s mercy has an ever-youthful face, and constantly invites us to be part of his Kingdom,” the pope said, according to the Catholic News Agency.

“Knowing your enthusiasm for mission, I repeat: Mercy always has a youthful face!” he added.
