WYD08 updates - Volunteers wanted! Homes wanted!

Volunteers wanted to assist with organising events around the time the WYD Cross & Icon arrive in our community on Saturday 1 December 2007! (the route & details to be annouced)

Any suggestions on what we should do on this very special day are most welcome! Email us your ideas or intention to become a volunteer together with your preferred contact details, and we will on forward your thoughts to the relevant people.

Homes wanted for Home-Stay-Program during WYD08!

WYD08 (15-20 July 2008) is in the middle of our winter. Open your homes to accommodate overseas pilgrims. All you need to provide is breakfast and an area for them to sleep in. Even your living room will do! They just need a roof over their heads to keep them warm against the cold winter nights. :)
