Due to my World Youth Day experience in Cologne, Germany... the excitement is huge.

Does anyone know of any religious Orders that are taking youth with them?

[quote][b]Liturgical Program for World Youth Day 2008 [/b]
I am happy to announce Juventutem Australia's draft Liturgical Program for World Youth Day, 2008.

Pilgrims will arrive in Melbourne over the course of Tuesday and Wednesday, the 8th and 9th July, in time for the beginning of the program on Thursday 10th July, 2008. All of Juventutem's Masses will be celebrated according to the Classical Roman Rite.

Thursday 10th July: Votive Mass of the Blessed Sacrament (Bishop Peter Elliott)
Friday 11th July: Votive Mass of St Benedict with collects from si diligis me (Archbishop Denis Hart)
Saturday 12th July: Pontifical Requiem (Victoria likely)
Sunday 13th July: 9th Sunday after Pentecost (Pontifical)

Monday 14th July: Pilgrims travel to Sydney by bus - low Masses of St Bonaventure

Tuesday 15th July: On this day Cardinal Pell celebrates the Official WYD opening Mass. There will be low Masses in the Classical Rite for the feast of St Henry. This is also a day for discovering Sydney.

Wednesday 16th July: Our Lady of Mount Carmel
Thursday 17th July: Votive Mass of the Holy Spirit
Friday 18th July: Votive Mass of the Holy Cross
Saturday 19th July: Feast of St Vincent de Paul. Vigil at Randwick racecourse.

Sunday 20th July: Papal Mass. There will be Mass(es) for the 10th Sunday after Pentecost following the Papal festivities. We hope to have something special for pilgrims this evening.

Masses in the Classical Roman Rite will be available for pilgrims on each day of the World Youth Day program. Liturgies are open to all pilgrims. The Offices of Vespers and Compline will be sung daily. Chant is of the essence. Pontificals are the norm.

Note: The 'post Pentecost count' is mine - and may be mistaken. Please pray for us. Please make plans to attend - and tell your chaplains.

I voted with the 'make it 2 k cheaper and I'm there'. I'll probably go to the Eucharistic Congress. If I don't have to work, whatever might come up, blah blah blah. I certainly [i]intend[/i] to be there.

[johnnydigit]

i am very seriously considering going if funds permit. going on my first pilgrimmage to rome/poland with the kolbe missionaries in august, so i may be stretching it by wanting to go on another pilgrimmage so soon..

apoarently Benedict is gonna be at the eucharistic congress in quebec so there some of my fellow seminarian brothers are going to go to that instead, we can drive there, it's cheaper, and we have connections with friends in Quebec.
