Aquila is what one might call a bit of a World Youth Day veteran. Archbishop Aquila has not missed a single World Youth Day since he became a bishop in 2001. He was also a priest in Denver during Saint John Paul II's iconic visit to the city for World Youth Day in 1993, and played an integral role in organizing the Holy Father's visit. So, for those keeping track, this year's World Youth Day in Krakow will mark (at least) the seventh one Archbishop Aquila has attended. At each World Youth Day, Arch- bishop Aquila has been invited to be a catechist bishop for the English speakers, which he called "a real privi- lege." He said it's fascinating to see the dialogue that takes place among the young people, and also the infl uence of the values of each culture present. It really speaks to the universality of the Church, which Arch- bishop Aquila said is his favorite aspect of World Youth Day. T he Archdiocese of Denver will be well-represented at World Youth Day; we have several pilgrim groups are already on their way to Krakow! The blue highlighted areas of the map represent the territory of the archdiocese, while the map points represent the approximate regions in the archdiocese that have pilgrims going. The boxes list the parishes in each pilgrimage group, and the red number is the number of pilgrims in each group.
