Tassie WYD11 Pilgrimage
CYM are coordinating the Tasmanian Pilgrimage to World Youth Day 2011, and YOU are invited to join us!
Discover Rome, as we explore the great St Peter's Basilica, the underground Catacombs, the Colosseum and many more of Rome's famous landmarks. Stay within the medieval walled village of Assisi and be moved by the radical life and faith of St Francis. Join in the evening torchlight procession at Lourdes with pilgrims worldwide. Allow WYD Madrid to change our lives as we witness faith, friendship and festival in epic proportions.
The Tassie WYD11 Pilgrimage encompasses Rome, Assisi, Sienna, Lourdes, Loyola, Burgos, and of course the WYD week in Madrid! Below you will find the flyer and itinerary to give you an idea of where we will be going on our pilgrimage to WYD11.
