Registering to go to Syndey as part of the Bathurst Diocese means much more than just the Sydney experience. You have special access to the Days in the Diocese events in your parish and the major events in the Diocese. Including a huge International Youth Festival the night before all pilgrims head to Sydney. It also means that travel to and from Sydney will be organised for you. When you register and join your parish group online, the group leader will be alerted to registration and be able to communicate all news and information about the pilgrimage to you. Now, if you are registered and what to learn more and start the pilgrimage....come along to the Pilgrim Retreat....April 18-20 call Gabrielle There are many factors to consider and levels of preparation and organisation required in taking a group of young people to WYD.
