- World Youth Day without preparing
spiritually! We're doing more than a trip. There is a great cultural
exchange for sure, which would make the trip totally worth it; but
we're going on a pilgrimage with the Pope and a million young people
from all around the world, so we warm our hearts up for the adventure
in the best of ways.
- Retreats precede all our formal pilgrimages.
