   Hi,
   Thanks for the information. We are located in Guam (out in the pacific) and can’t do much until the official website is open and is taking registration for the passes, meals, etc. i tried hooking up with a group from the states or from europe, but they will only assist us from a US State (even though we are a US Territory) – so we have to make plans to get to LA or Newark and then they can assist us from there. Any suggestions? When do you think they will name the actual place (main place) so we can start hunting for hotel accommodation? H E L P!! Thank you =) and God Bless = ) Tricia from Guam

   Hello Trish

   I believe they are not yet going to register pilgrims. Its too early. The cross and icon has just been passed on last palm sunday and it will take a year or so before they allow you to register. There is already an official place, its Madrid Spain.

   The best thing you can do right now is be active on your parish, contact your Parish Priest and tell him your desire to go to Spain for the World Youth Day, be ready spiritually and paray to God that your Visa wont be denied.

   Thank you very much Bluepanjeet, I rally appreciate any help which enable me to attend and report the spiritual unity of the world youth to my fellow in Ethiopia who can not afford to join this event physically. I am inlonging to report the exact spirit of the festival, in a first hand account, on the only National Catholic Church Newspaper of Ethiopia to which I work as an Editor. The support is Not only just to one person me, but will be great contribution to the Ethiopian YOUTH.
   The Ethiopian Catholic Church also take an account on such support.
   Thank you once again!

    Hi Im Dan from the philippines, I am a Church youth leader …Last year my Parish sent a delegation to the WYD 2008 in Sydney, Australia and fortunately I was one of them. My Parish shouldered al the expenses then. But now I am doubtful if my they could still send a delegate to the world youth day 2011 since spain is too far and really expensive, on the other hand we are affected by the financial crisis..I am very willing to join and participate the wyd 2011 not just for myself but for my co-youth in our parish and for the community where we actvely participate… is there anyone or group in Spain you know that is/are willing to sponsor? thanks!
