Impact! 2002 Pictures

I got my pictures back... and I'll post them for all to see. Just a few at time thought, so you'll have to come back!

I ended up getting free doubles, so if anyone sees a picture that they really want, drop me a line and it's yours! (as long as it hasn't yet been claimed by someone else!)

Pre-WYD Impact

Happy Canada Day! Looking down into Rideau Centre from the roof. How many Impacters can you identify in this picture?

Haning out at SJA after the Friday Night Blast. I think we're supposed to be cleaning and stuff....

@ Youth Arise International

Can you tell which poor Impacter had to "Skip around the field" on his birthday? (hint: dude)

There he is getting the birthday bumps! 26 is a lot of bumps.

Darryl couldn't hide behind the camera this time!

Members of the CCO flag bearing team at Youth Arise International!

More CCO flag bearers.....

and still more... CCO was very well represented at YAI.

Large crowd at YAI and some CCO members take the stage! Can you pick out who's who up there?

You know them from the front, but can you identify your teammates from behind?

Chris acts on his desire to be a mountain monk.

We ran into some of the Brazillians that we greeted in Toronto at YAI

Fr. Tom Forrest speaks to us just before the closing of YAI.

@ World Youth Day

Does anyone recognise these letters?? :-)
A good way to start off WYD.

Our first session of animator training in the Automotive Building. ("The LIGHT of the world...")

Our little Myriam helps Father train us for the WYD Vigil and Mass

We ran into Tony Melendez ("My dear young friends...") just before the YAI Festival of Praise at WYD.
(Heidi, Athena, Lizzie, Justin, Tony, Chris, Nicole, Maria, Amy)

Guess who can sleep anywhere?! (You should have seen her at the airport! :-D)

I hope that tastes as good as they make it look!

What are we waiting for?!
Ah, to we're waiting to hear Ellen speak at University Days....
(does anyone have a pic of Ellen at University Days? Could you send it to me?)

Does anyone know what's wrong with this guy??

"Lean on me..." Athena and Frances lean on one another during a train ride home.

The Macapagal family found each other when they needed it most during WYD.

Waiting for Pope John Paul II to arrive at World Youth Day!

Where's John Paul II? (think: Where's Waldo?)

Is this any better?

Found Him!

Look at the crowd that came out to meet him. Sure glad we have those screens!

This is the most comfortable way to ride the train....as long as no one steps on you!

The view from the animation platform. Hey those NETters aren't helping!! (bottom left)

John Paul II speaks during the Vigil.

I'm wet. Are you wet? The morning after....

....but we still have the joy of the LORD!

The bishops at WYD mass. They're not wet, but I'm sure they're cold.

The Holy Father prays during the WYD mass.

The after mass crowd. The sunshine came out just in time for the gospel.

Post WYD in Toronto

Kristal does Lisa's hair while we travel.

Schools of Evangelisation and Theology

We listen (and some fall asleep) while Pavel teaches us about "Evangelisation in a Post-Modern, Pluralistic, Culture of Death"

Asela appreciates a freezie during a break from "class"

So do Maria and Maritza.

Andre introduces Saskatoon's newest staff member: PJ Lewis!

You Know Who Honors it's Guys & Farewell for Athena

Ruth works on a necklace while the rest of us party.

These two buddies are always wrestling.

You Know Who all together for the last time.

You Know Who gals.

You Know Who guys. (Makes you wonder just how far the "My Little Pony" conspiracy really went....)

Honoring our Knights in shining armor.

Myriam and Athena enjoy a short nap during the party.

Hanging out while we wait for tea and cake.

Nicole's guitar debut. There was lots of stopping to change chords, but I'm getting better!
("Father of A, you de-D, in your Aaaa...")

Maria plays "Missing Part" for us for the first time. (Maria, it still sticks in my head everytime I think about the song.)

Myriam plays a spanish "love song" (we think it was a love song, Myriam & Maritza wouldn't translate it for us)

Miscellaneous During the last week on mission.... lots of people are sleeping!

One fine Saturday morning... Myriam just wouldn't get out of bed! And look, she takes up the whole thing!

Cheryl and Amber lead the women in worship during the final Women's Session.

Are they praying or sleeping in the grotto? I'm pretty sure both Julie and Susie were involved in "deep meditation"

Christine and Melanie are definitely sleeping.

I snuck into the kitchen to catch the Waffles make spaghetti for supper... and waffles for desert!
(Matt, Raphael, Denis, Mickey, Michael, Chris, Big Matt, Jeremy, Jeff)

At the Museum of Civilisation

Trying on wooden shoes at the Dutch booth in the Bazaar.
This picture was exremely red.... though it's not much better now.
(Ruth, Nicole, Janna, Alison - Did any of you get a better version?)

"Mr. Denis! Mr. Denis! Can you please fix mine?!"
(Denis showed us how to make paper cranes, now Jacki is obsessed with them!
He's a very good teacher....patient enough to put up with us anyway!)
