All Australian pilgrims gathered in Panama together to pray and prepare for the events of WYD.
Pilgrims gather and wait for the official opening of WYD 2019.
Waiting to enter the park where Pope Francis welcomed all pilgrims to Panama for WYD.
An estimated 600,000 people slept in Metropark Panama City for Pope Francis' Vigil before closing WYD with a final Mass the next morning.
Before returning to Australia, we left Panama City for a retreat. We had the opportunity to reflect on all we had experienced and give thanks before heading back home. What a life-changing experience!
Spending some time together to reminisce about our pilgrimage and give thanks for the life-changing adventure!
