Well some of you might be asking what is WYD?
World Youth Day is a youth-oriented Catholic Church event. It is a weeklong gathering for people from all over the world. This year in Madrid the final mass will be led by Pope Benedict XVI, where organisers are expecting 2 million young people to attend.


Marist College Kogarah will be sending 7 Pilgrims (a pilgrim is a traveller, one who has come from afar who is on a journey to a holy place).
Those pilgrims include Mr. Donohue and;
