To Infinity and Beyond... um, Madrid, that is...

Planning for World Youth Day (WYD) 2011 is in full swing! The theme is, “Rooted and Built Up in Jesus Christ, Firm in the Faith!” (Col 2:7). The actual dates for WYD is August 15-21, all centered in Madrid - but we have so much more than that to offer! Our trip begins August 9th.

Our pilgrimage will begin in Lisbon, Portugal where we travel a bit to visit the sight where Our Blessed Mother appeared, and the sun danced in the sky - in Fatima. We will participate in all the celebrations and festivities of that awesome religious sight.

From Fatima, we will travel North along the coast to Santiago de Compostela, Spain, where the tradition of Christian Pilgrimage began. After a mini-retreat, we begin our journey South to Madrid, stopping along the way in Avila (home of St. Teresa of Avila).

In Madrid, we will join with youth from all over the world, as we celebrate our great faith with our Holy Father. We are so excited to offer not just a trip, but a spiritual pilgrimage with the saints – which allows us to enrich our World Youth Day experience – and enables us to be, “Rooted and Built Up in Jesus Christ, Firm in the Faith!”

We will be having pricing and itineraries soon! For more info, please call: 314.633.2508 or Email: brianfischer@archstl.org
