CWN Editor's Note: About 50,000 altar servers have arrived in Rome as part of an international pilgrimage.
Cardinal Jean-Claude Hollerich, who is leading the pilgrimage, told Vatican News that he would encourage the young people to live a life of service, and in particular to avoid online bullying, which he saw as a problem that has become “something awful.”
The great majority of the altar servers on the pilgrimage—about 35,000—come from Germany.
