It seems that the rain never quits. Although it has apparently not dampened the enthusiasm of what could be over one million young people—as well as Pope Francis—it has resulted in flooding of the original planned site for the Vigil Mass on Saturday evening as well as the closing ceremonies on Sunday.
No doubt this is a disappointment to those who worked so hard to set everything up, but the weather dictated otherwise.
Therefore these events have been moved to Copacabana Beach. The schedule remains the same. And as we said, enthusiasm remains high, and Pope Francis seems to draw energy from the crowds. We will keep you updated on any changes in the next 24 hours.
