THE PROJECT

Thousands of young people will converged in Toronto, Canada, for the World Youth Day, July 18th to 28th , 2002. They came from all around the world and especially from North America.

Spread out across a vast continent encompassing Canada, the United States, Mexico, the Caribbean, and even Cuba, millions of Catholics live in North America.

While it may be well known to many in the world that Spanish speaking Mexico has a large Catholic population, the United States is likewise a nation of faith. People have the misconception that the US is a secular society.
Yet they have a president who "blesses" his citizens, bank-notes stamped with the words "in God we trust" and official prayer at the beginning of each session of Congress.
Beyond the "clichés", we ask : who are these North-American Catholics ?
