First blog: Blown away

When I first heard about World Youth Day I was so blown away by the thought of so many Catholics being in the same place, at the same time, for the same reason, that I was determined to be a part of it. It is an incredible opportunity to be part of something this big which reaches and brings together so many different cultures from over the world. I am really looking forward to this aspect of World Youth Day because it is when we come together that we can draw encouragement off each other and be inspired in our journey with God.

I believe in this way, that World Youth Day will be an extremely encouraging experience, where we can stand with other Catholics and really be strengthened in our faith.

This will be my first WYD and I am honoured to be the ambassador from Hamilton. I’m looking forward to representing New Zealand and being part of this amazing pilgrimage in Jesus’ name. Amen!

Will keep you posted on the happenings,
Sarah.
