Concert of Hope Archive

In their largest and most prestigious appearance ever, Libera took part in the Papal Mass event before 60,000 people at New York City's Yankee Stadium on Sunday, April 20, 2008. The Mass was the climax of Pope Benedict XVI's first visit to the US.

Tom Cully and Josh Madine opened the proceedings as they walked onto the stage to begin the Libera song "Far Away." The other boys joined in time for the chorus as their voices rang out across one of the largest venues ever to host such an event, which was also televised live across the US and many other countries.

Later the boys sang "Sanctus" and took part in the finale of the concert as the Holy Father arrived at the stadium to begin the Mass.
