World Youth Day 2000

About the Trip

I joined the teens of St. Theresa Catholic Church from Douglasville, GA on a trip to Rome for WYD 2000. After the group left, a few of us stayed behind and traveled north to Venice. From Venice, I traveled alone to Turin, to see the Shroud, and then into France.
