On The Boat With The Pope

My sister just got an email from the organizers of the WYD Sydney 2008 informing her that she had been picked to be one of 100 participants from 30 countries who will be joining the Holy Father in the Papal Boat-a-cade on Sydney Harbour.

Papal Arrival - 2.45pm, Thursday, 17 July 2008
