Tim Drake and others have noted the big influx of religious
vocations sparked by Pope John Paul IIs Denver World Youth Day. At
Benedictine College, at least two leading monks trace their
vocations to that 1993 event. But apart from the event itself,
Denver marked a metanoia for Americas Church. That was when we
realized the faith could be serious and energetic, and that it
wasnt just the bastion of old age. Ever since, Americans have been
organizing pilgrimages to ship young young people to World Youth
Days around the world.
