Events planned for English-speaking young people at World Youth Day in Madrid will include tributes to Blessed Pope John Paul II.
“At the first World Youth Day since Blessed Pope John Paul II was beatified, this tribute is particularly appropriate,” said Knights of Columbus Supreme Knight Carl Anderson, who is currently in Madrid.
“The Love and Life Center: A Home for English-speaking Pilgrims” is open from Aug. 16 - 19 at the Palacio de Deportes, Madrid's 11,000-seat concert and sports arena located in the heart of the city.
Relics of Blessed Pope John Paul II will be on display in the Eucharistic Adoration Chapel in the Palacio, which include two items that Blessed Pope John Paul II owned.
