Dear People,Please read click on the flyer to the right. It has the information you are looking for about a great opportunity that we need to plan for now. You can click on the flyer and print it out. Give it to your friends. There are many deaf catholics from across America who are planning to go. There was a lot of enthusiasm for this event shown at the German Deaf Youth Exchange Camp I was able to visit last week.
Please leave comments below. Call Cathy Carey if you are interested in going so she can keep a list and we can set up a meeting.
Also, World Youth Day is less than a year away. There is a website with all the details you can Check out: http://www.wyd2008.org/index.php/en/
The Holy Father invites all the youth of the world and adults to help along the way. The theme for this year is: "You will be baptised with the Holy Spirit." Acts 1:5 . I know that the Young Catholics especially those who are deaf are looking forward to the sign of unity our presence will represent. Unity is the sign of the Holy Spirit. I hope that you are interested. If you are interested at all please contact Cathy Carey so she can keep a list and we can set up a meeting.
The dates for World Youth Day , held in Sydney, are the 15th-20th of July, 2008.
The dates for the The International Pilgrimage of Catholic Deaf Peoples, held in Rome, are 25th - 26th of June, 2008. The plan many groups have is to spend a week or so in Rome and then join the group for the two days of Activities together.
I have been to Rome a few times and would love to show you all around. I have a great love of the World Youth Day experience and look forward to leading you to the great celebration of unity and love that the Sunday Eucharist with the Pope and the world's youth brings about.
In Christ,
Fr. St. Martin
