World Youth Day
 
Pope John Paul II was visiting Toronto to inaugrate the World youth Day and to head the papal mass. Catholic and Muslim youths arranged a dialogue to understand each others faith and beliefs at the CNE ground. Among the crowd was Bhaktimarga Swami - perhaps the only non-catholic and non-muslim participant to attend. It was a great move from the part of Scarboro missions and the United Muslims to have organized such a dialogue.
