World Youth Day
FROM: WHP CBS21
Hundreds of Catholic teens gather in Harrisburg to celebrate World Youth Day. Yesterday, the teens participated in a mass at Saint Patrick's Cathedral and then walked over to Strawberry Square for food, music, and a social hour.
This is the 21st year for the world-wide event.
The teens say it's a good reminder that the future of the Catholic church is in their hands.
Organizer Steve Horn:
“They're the future. If they're not here it's going to die out and they'll have nothing to believe in then.”
In 2008, Catholic kids, teens and twenty-somethings from around the world will gather in Sydney, Australia to celebrate World Youth Day at the international level.
