17 June 2008 - Paul Sunil, SVD, talked to the DMC student body about the f
orthcoming World Youth Day. He discussed two things: the Preparations (one week before) and the Celebration (one week during) the WYD. Around one hundred thirty pilgrims are expected to be hosted in our SVD house at Marsfield, NSW.
The students are asked to assist in hosting the pilgrims coming from Alice Springs, interstate or overseas. Students will be assigned to various committees where they can serve in the Liturgy, accommodations, serving meals, or as guide to pilgrims. However, Sunil stressed the PILGRIM spirit of the WYD, i.e. to travel light, to take part at prayer times, Eucharist, sacrament, etc. He also encouraged the students to get to know the pilgrims and enjoy the once-in-a-life time experience.
Sunil, of course, was talking from his personal experience, having participating in the WYD02 held Canada. Many anxieties and uncertainties regarding the WYD have thus been dispelled. ~
