It’s been a huge couple of months culminating in an awesome week at World Youth Day in Sydney for about 500 pilgrims from our diocese. The WYD team would like to thank everyone who made the pilgrimage to Sydney and all of our WYD events this year possible. It has been a massive effort from volunteers, group leaders, home-stay providers, fundraisers, event volunteers, parish WYD contacts and everyone who put their hand up to be part of WYD and we appreciate everything you have done. We would especially like to thank everyone for their generosity and patience when things didn’t go to plan—such as when buses that had been booked and paid for didn’t show up as scheduled! Overall though WYD has been a wonderful experience and something that was only possible with the encouragement and hard work of the entire diocesan community—so THANK YOU!
Everyone is invited to one last WYD Pilgrim Session to reflect on our time at WYD08, to celebrate, to catch up with new friends and to discuss the future of youth ministry in our diocese. Sessions will be held in each region so attend the session closest to you. Bring a piece of WYD08 memory/souvenir with you for a bit of show and tell. West Region meets on Tues-26/8/08-6.30 p.m. at St. Francis Xavier College, Beaconsfield.
Missing all of your WYD08 buddies? Catch up with them on www.XT3.com and join the “Diocese of Sale WYD08 pilgrims” group to hear about everyone’s WYD experience, post your photos and find out about post-WYD opportunities to connect to your parish and community.
If you were lucky enough to attend the WYD08 please shar your experience with the parish by sending us some photos. Click here to email them. Thanks
