Follow the Joliet Young Adult Pilgrim Delegation!

Hundreds of thousands of young adults will descend on Madrid, Spain, for the international celebration of World Youth Day in Madrid, Spain, this coming week. His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI will take part in the festivities as well - and will encourage the young people present (and those connecting virtually) to be witnesses of their faith to their generation.

We hope you will be able to follow along with us on our journey with the Holy Father in Madrid. Remember that the Pope speaks to you as much as he speaks to those making the physical journey overseas. Let us all pray for the rejuvenation of the Catholic Church among those in their 20s and 30s, in the United States and across the globe. See you around... online!
