USCCB Resources!

We urge you to visit the USCCB WYD 2008 website at www.wydusa.org, and click on the information link for U.S. groups. There you will find a number of catechetical resources to assist your group with spiritual preparation for the trip, right online. You can already sign up for a monthly e-newsletter to help you prepare for the trip. Just like in 2005, reflection documents for use with individuals and groups are expected to be published in time for Advent 2007 and Lent 2008. A WYD journal should also be published soon which will include weekly readings from Scripture, reflection questions, and stories about young saints. You may even order WYD USA buttons to wear in solidarity or trade with pilgrims from other nations. To order any of these items, call toll-free (866) 574-4763.

The USCCB has also established an electronic mailing list to pass along important information about World Youth Day 2008 to those preparing for this pilgrimage. Between now and July, 2008, you can receive periodic email updates with registration information and other WYD details for U.S. participants. To receive these announcements, subscribe yourself to the mailing list by filling out the form on the bottom of the WYD home page.
