Dear Family, Friends & Sponsors:
We are a Delegation of young adults from the Diocese of San Bernardino.
We are praying and working hard to attend World Youth Day in Madrid, Spain 2011. Prior to World Youth Day we are participating with other young adults from our community in a program called WYD YOUTH MINI-PILGRIMAGE, which is a spiritual opportunity to know more about our faith, experience the hospitality and universality of the Catholic Church. During this part of the pilgrimage, we have the chance to share our faith and culture with each other.
Immediately following we will begin World Youth Day which is a week of prayer, education, and Mass with the Holy Father. This will be an extraordinary opportunity for us to grow in our faith, to gather as part of the universal Church with more than a million others, and to listen to God’s call in our lives.
This will not be a vacation, but a pilgrimage. It will be an opportunity to experience the presence of Jesus Christ in the holy places with His body, the Church. It will be a personal and communal journey together in faith. We will be accompanied by our priest Father Manuel Cardoza, and lay leaders who will provide insight and spiritual guidance as we seek the face of the Lord through prayer and celebration. We hope to be inspired to reflect on how God has worked in holy people throughout history and is still working in our life today.
Our preparation for this Journey of Faith has already begun. Over the coming months, our delegation will be gathering for retreats, devotions, Sacraments and other prayer in anticipation of our travels. As we prepare to immerse ourselves in this experience, we hope that you will pray for our delegation, and for the Church in Spain who will be receiving us.
Respectfully,
Donald, Sadye, Angela, Natascha, Marie Kris, Caroline, Elizabeth, Lara, Joseph, Joe, Julia, Crystal, Daniel, Jorge, Rachel, Christian and katrina.
St. Catherine of Alexandria, Temecula & St. Martha’s, Murrieta.

Our Pilgrimage Prayer
Lord, lead us along the path of your love and keep us faithful to the journey we make.
With the fire of your Spirit illumine the road we travel and help us up when we stumble and fall.
With your Word of truth make us a faithful pilgrim's and help us to choose what is right and just and true.
From your heart of love give us the grace we need to love our fellow pilgrims and to share with them your peace.
With the power of your cross teach us to pour out ourselves in service of the poor, that our lives might be filled with your love.
From the table of your Word and your Body and Blood, nourish us with food that gives life. Lead our steps safely along your path and gather us in with all your sons and daughters, together with our Holy Father, and all who make their way to you and the life you promise. Grant this and all good things through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
We request your prayers with humble hearts as we pray to our WYD patron saints to intercede after us on this journey of faith.
