Background music- "Receive the Power" by Guy Sebastian and Paulini.
On 01 July 2007, the first pilgrims arrived in preparations for World Youth Day 2008. They were in the form of a Wooden Cross and Icon. These were the two symbols which has journeyed the world and landed on the shores of Sydney for the start of its journey around Australia. The WYD Cross and Icon were greeted by thousands of Sydneysiders and Guy Sebastian and Paulini singing in the WYD song "Receive the Power", in public for the first time at Darling Harbour.
The Cross and Icon were then relocated to St Mary's Cathedral for Mass and veneration in the evening.
The official hand-over to The Western Deanery of The Sydney Archdiocese followed suite. The Cross and Icon made its way to Holy Spirit Carnes Hill for an all night Vigil and Dawn Mass. Sacred Heart Cabramatta put on a morning concert with a live telecast on Channel 9's "The Today Show". Patrician Brothers Fairfield gave hundreds of locals the opportunity to carry the Cross and Icon throughout their Stations of the Cross. At night, a concert was held at Liverpool Catholic Club where thousands gathered also for an outdoor Mass celebrated by Bishop Porteus. The hand-over to the Bankstown and Aurburn Deanery concluded the itinerary of the Cross and Icon's first two days.
Special Thanks to all those involved especially: WYD Committee, The Western Deanery Parishioners, Musicians, WYD Representatives, Venue Organisers, Priests, Bishop Porteus and finally, God!
God Bless!
