Supreme Knight Carl Anderson joined 35 college Knights from a total of 18 universities in Sydney, Australia at the opening Mass of the 2008 World Youth Day today.  The Knights gathered in Los Angeles last weekend so that they could make the long flight across the Pacific Ocean together.

The Knights of Columbus joined with the Sisters of Life and the Pontifical John Paul II Institutes for Studies on Marriage and Family (Washington, DC) (Melbourne) in hosting the Life and Love Site in downtown Sydney. The site is located on the Broadway Campus of the University of Notre Dame.  Visitors to the site will find a variety of special activities for WYD attendees, including talks on such subjects as “Love, Sex and Relationships,” “God’s Vision for the Family,” and “The Genius of Pope John Paul II.”  There are also evening concerts by a variety of musical groups, and much more.  Complete details here.  Photos here.  Blog entries here.
