WYD'08 Joyful Visitation
Sydney ~ Fiji
A pilgrimage with purpose!

With the hope of becoming pilgrim-apostles of the third millenium, 130 zealous young people, six priests and six religious sisters are setting out for the world encounter in Sydney, Australia in July 2008. Following the method of preparation for the renewal of baptismal vows by St. Louis de Montfort, these young people desire not so much to 'see' Mary, but to 'be' Mary. After the Papal Mass, we will go, in imitation of Our Lady's charity, to serve the poor and needy on the Fiji Islands.

"The Spirit of Jesus today is inviting you young people to be bearers of the good news of Jesus to your contemporaries."
Pope Benedict XVI, papal message for WYD '08
