What will participants do during WYD 2008?
While in Sydney, participants will take part in a week-long program beginning with a Mass of Welcome celebrated by His Eminence George Cardinal Pell and ending with a papal Mass. Other activities include sessions about the Catholic faith as well as participation in the sacraments of Eucharist and Reconciliation. In addition, there will be opportunities to pray, participate in social service activities as well as attend a wide range of entertainment that will include concerts, plays, dance and discussions. An important part of WYD is the chance for youth from around the world to meet, make friends and learn from each other.
