Bishop Ted Collins of Darwin and Bishop Christopher Saunders of Broome and the Kimberley celebrated the Commissioning of the pilgrims going to World Youth Day in Germany. Fifteen pilgrims from the Kimberley and six representatives from NATSICC (National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Catholic Council) joined fifteen pilgrims from Darwin for the journey that took them to France where they visited the Holy Shrines enroute to Cologne. A further five pilgrims from the Neocatechumenate Way also attended World Youth Day. In Cologne, they joined an estimated 800,000 young people from around the world including 2500 young Australians.

The theme of WYD 2005 was “We have come to worship him”. The call to prayer and worship came from the Holy Father and was enthusiastically answered by a vast body of youth, the future of the Church in the world.
