Elizabeth Pappalardo and Krystie Tham from our Community Engagement Team will be joining thousands of Aussie’s in the pilgrimage to Madrid for World Youth Day in August 2011.
World Youth Day is a significant event for young Catholics as the diversity of nations and countries of the Catholic Church come together to share their faith and be rejuvenated to spread the gospel of Jesus in our home lands.
From our experiences with World Youth Day 2008 in Sydney, we will never forget the pride we felt to be a young Australian Catholic. Being witnesses of love and peace through, smiles, laughter, singing and dancing as the diversity of cultures and nations coming together, was a week we will never forget.
We are looking forward to be a part of the love and joy shared during World Youth Day in Madrid from 16- 21 August. We are excited to share our spiritual journey with passionate young Catholics from around the world. We feel privileged to be able to take this journey and represent Caritas Australia. For those who will be taking part in event and manage to spot us amongst the exuberant crowds in our Caritas red shirts, make sure you come and say HOLA! :D
While we are there, we hope to build networks with young Catholics and promote our A Just Climate campaign. We will be updating our social media sites on our journey to keep you all in the loop! We promise to take lots of photos as well!
