Crusader_4 Posted June 18, 2004 Posted June 18, 2004 If yes where? I was very fortunate to see His Holiness when i went to Italy last year and i went to a General Audience on a wednesday morning i got no lie within 10-15 feet of JP II i was wowed.
Iacobus Posted June 18, 2004 Posted June 18, 2004 [quote name='picchick' date='Jun 18 2004, 05:41 PM'] I was kissed by him as a baby. [/quote] über cool!
voiciblanche Posted June 18, 2004 Posted June 18, 2004 (edited) NO! And I want to go to WYD so badly; but I CAN'T! And it stinks! The Holy Father will probably pass into Heaven before I ever see him... guess I'll have to wait to see him there, God willing. Edited June 18, 2004 by voiciblanche

Most of the colleges I really liked have freshmen come in during that time frame. It makes me sad.
Thy Geekdom Come Posted June 18, 2004 Posted June 18, 2004 [quote] I was kissed by him as a baby. [/quote] So what?! I got a letter from Ronald Reagan as a baby! So what if it was a form letter asking new parents to vote for him?! Okay, you win, JPII is much cooler...
Luthien Posted June 19, 2004 Posted June 19, 2004 I missed WYD in Toronto because our old youth ministry and parish priest aren't crazy about the pope...
crusader1234 Posted June 19, 2004 Posted June 19, 2004 Nope, I probably will after I graduate when I go to visit The Holy See. My mom got to meet (like actually met) John the 23rd. It was for the capping of a Cardinal that was a friend of my Grandpa. It was right around the time of V2 as well.
IcePrincessKRS Posted June 19, 2004 Posted June 19, 2004 Yes, sorta... not up close and personal, but when he was in Toronto when I was about 4 we went to see him, and again when I was a teenager when he came to NYC.
Ash Wednesday Posted June 19, 2004 Posted June 19, 2004 At World Youth Day in 2002, my boyfriend lifted me up and I saw the tippy top of his cute head, with the little white beanie when he was in the popemobile. That was the best I could do.
homeschoolmom Posted June 19, 2004 Posted June 19, 2004 We had the opportunity to see him when we were in Rome... we went to the Coloseum instead... HSDad is still a little mad at me about that...
Norseman82 Posted June 19, 2004 Posted June 19, 2004 Yes, when he visited Quigley South in Chicago in 1979. (That was our sister school; I went to Quigley North).
Soldier4Him Posted June 19, 2004 Posted June 19, 2004 WYD Toronto baby! I was 5 feet from him while he was in the Popemobile!!!!
