Ticket holder's Pin Badge Papal Visit Youth Mass Galway

"This badge was part of the 'pack' prepared by each Dioceses for young people who attended the Youth Mass in Ballybrit Racecourse during the visit of Joh Paul II. As one of the thousands who travelled through the night, packed lunch and flask in hand to stand for hours in anticipation of glimpsing the Pope in the distance, this momento is a tangible reminder of the enormous impact John Paul's words that day had on an entire generation of Ireland's youth."
