More World Youth Day Pilgrims

24 January 2008

This week cliftondiocese.com brings you podcasts about our World Youth Day pilgrims. We continue our series of fascinating chats with two more people travelling to Sydney.

World Youth Day is the largest youth event in the world. It takes pace in Sydney from 15 to 20 July and around 15 young people from around the Clifton Diocese are taking part.

We caught up with some of our pilgrims at a meeting to finalise details of the trip. You can hear from them as cliftondiocese.com brings you a podcast a day all through this week. Listen to and download today’s podcast in the multimedia panel on the right.

Today we talk with Maria and her dad Chris from Bristol. Maria has Down’s Syndrome and Chris is going to Australia as her carer. Maria is excited about the night under the stars – when pilgrims await the arrival of the Pope. While Chris talks about how important it is to let many people know about this wonderful event through the media.

We talked with Antonia and Rachel when we launched this series on Monday. On Tuesday Lucy and Annabel had their say and yesterday we enjoyed listening to Shaun and Lizzy.
