WYD 2011: Pray for our youth and follow their pilgrimage in Spain
Nearly 80 young people from the Diocese of Madison are traveling this month to Spain for World Youth Day (WYD) 2011.
Pope John Paul II started World Youth Day in 1985 as a gathering of youth and young adults for prayer, worship, and celebration of the Catholic faith. The event is observed every three years at an international level.
For those who can’t attend WYD in person, there are other ways to participate and stay in touch with our pilgrims. One way is to join the Virtual Pilgrimage on Facebook at www.facebook.com/VirtualWorldYouthDay
