The count down is officially over, it is here, it has arrived! WYD08, several years in the planning and billed as the biggest event ever hosted in Australia, commences today and concludes on Sunday with a Final Mass celebrated by Pope Benedict XVI and festival events at Randwick Racecourse.
The website has been the communication backbone for WYD08 and remains so. Pilgrims, Sydneysiders and others interested with what will be going on during the week should check out the WYD08 Events pages which capture not only the "headline" attractions but also the smaller, "localised" gatherings.
