INDIGENOUS COMMUNITIES PROGRAM has now finished

15 Jul 2008 - 20 Jul 2008

Catholic communities in Australia and New Zealand will help young people from disadvantaged communities in our region attend World Youth Day 2008 (WYD08) in Sydney under a new scheme of partnership and cooperation. Host partners are encouraged to seek out and support young Catholics from indigenous communities in Australia as well as from neighbouring nations such as East Timor, the Solomon Islands and Papua New Guinea,' Archbishop Wilson said. "Host partners might raise funds to cover the travel and registration fees for these pilgrims to attend WYD or provide other assistance such as warm clothing.” Go to www.wyd2008.org/index.php/en/about_wyd08 for further information on World Youth Day 2008 and details on how you can register.
