At World Youth Day, Bishop Murphy reminds young people attending that their trip to Krakow is a pilgrimage to be taken seriously and not just a party.

He provided a mantra for youth from Rockville Center.

“Remember why we’re here,” he proclaimed to his contingent. “On a pilgrimage you never complain about anything, because it is a pilgrimage.”
