Posted By: happysun22   |  Last Updated: 07/30/2008 22:51   |  Views: 943
Description: Hello, My name is Sharon and I am a Youth Minister from  CT. I will be traveling with youth from my parish St James, St Barts's Parish in Manchester and St Chris's Parish in East Hartford. This will be my 4th World Youth Day and each exeperience has been so different. At this World Youth Day  I will be an MC  for  our  Catechesis site for three days.  This is a unique opportunity that I have and look forward to the challenges and excitment that it will bring. I also look forward to working with the three bishops who are assigned to my site. 

 On my blog you will see World Youth Day from the eyes of a youth minister on a pilgrimage down under with youth.  I will share the sites, stories and unique things that occur while on our pilgrimage. For those who work with youth you know it is always an adventure and I can't wait to see what this one brings.   We have been planning, preparing, and fundraising for three years. Today at our parish Fr Dave gave those who are going a special blessing. With only three day till we go there is a lot of packing to do  Gotta go get a few last minute supplies!!!
