A delegation from western Massachusetts is scheduled to depart later today for Poland to attend the Catholic Church’s World Youth Day.
They will be part of a week-long international gathering of young Catholics in Krakow, the childhood home of Pope John Paul II, who instituted the first World Youth Day in 1985.
WAMC’s Paul Tuthill spoke with Bishop Mitchell Rozanski, who is leading the delegation from the Springfield diocese on the pilgrimage to Poland.
