XX WYD: 650 PRIESTS FOR CONFESSIONS IN 40 DIFFERENT LANGUAGES, 100 OF WHICH IN THE RECONCILIATION CENTRE, A FORMER WAR PRISON

” “650 priests will alternate in confessing the young people who have come to the WYD, from August 17th to 19th from 9 am to midnight. One hundred of them are permanently based in the Reconciliation Centre of the Exhibition hall, symbolically meaningful for having been, after the second world war, a place where Polish war prisoners were forced to carry out hard labour. In 100 entirely-transparent confessionals – so there will be no distance between speakers and listeners – boys and girls can confess in their own language by selecting one of the 40 languages available.
