Anyone here participate in World Youth Day? (believe, pope, Australia)

I myself haven't but I would love to. I have a friend Katherine who went to Australia last year and participated, and I find it hard to believe that such a large event is so under reported. Over 500,000 kids attended the closing Mass by Pope Benedict and it was one of the biggest events ever hosted in Sydney.

Our daughter was named after a Sister that I worked with. She was sent to Australlia this year to be a big part of it. She worked there all year long. It sounded amazing. We are not Catholic, but I am amazed at how little it is covered too. It was incredible all the things Sister ________ did all year long to prepare.
