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!!! More...
