Some conversations that I had in the closing days of World Youth Day, and after the event got me to thinking about the potential lasting impact of the event in Germany and elsewhere. One of the stories seldom told in the secular media was that a large majority of the pilgrims stayed with host families throughout Cologne, Bonn and Dusseldorf.<\/p>\n

This was unique to WYD in Cologne. I cannot recall this happening at previous World Youth Days. Typically, the pilgrims were housed in schools and parishes.<\/p>\n

What is unique about this, is the potential long-term impact that the event could have on the country, through those who experienced it through the pilgrims that stayed with them.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
