More World Youth Day Photos from the U.S. Oblate Youth Group

Rain dampened the air but not the spirits on the day the Pope arrived. Oblate Fathers Jesse Esqueda and David Muñoz are in the blue ponchos on the right.

The huge crowd awaits the Pope’s arrival.

Pope Francis on the jumbo-tron!

The group made a solemn visit of the infamous Dachau Prison Camp

One of the gas chambers where thousands were murdered by the Nazis.
