Virtual Pilgrimage

NFCYM has partnered with MyCatholicVoice to provide a Virtual Pilgrimage to NCYC 2009. The virtual pilgrimage, will provide a way for the world to participate in this wonderful, spiritual event. Pilgrims will be able to prepare for the journey via of meditation, music, and videos. For pilgrims who are unable to join us in Kansas City, reporters will provide updates on events and interviews with attendees. After the event, pilgrims will be able to get information on continuing the journey back at their Parish.
