World Youth Day - Madrid
Every three years our Pope invites young adults from around the world to join him for a time of prayer, catechesis, and reflection. The site for World Youth Day 2011 is Madrid, Spain.
Bishop Hebda has made this event a priority in his schedule. With enthusiasm he issues an invitation to priests and young adults from across our Diocese to consider participating in this spiritual pilgrimage with him.
Kate Wilde, from St. Mary Cathedral Parish, is coordinating this event for the Gaylord Diocese. Gaylord is partnering with three other Michigan Dioceses - Grand Rapid, Kalamazoo and Marquette - for advance preparations and participation in World Youth Day 2011.

Summer Youth Mission Experience
WHAT IS THE SUMMER YOUTH MISSION EXPERIENCE?
It is a model for learning about “solidarity”. An opportunity for mature youth together with their parents and/or youth ministers, to be challenged, to deepen their faith and share their talents.
By providing the following experiences, we hope to open the way to accomplish these goals:
* Being a Catholic presence at the migrant camps through prayer, songs, skits, and
reflection.
* Visiting and sharing with migrant families at their homes and places of work.
* Meeting community leaders and having daily group reflection time.
* Celebrating the Eucharist with the local Hispanic and the migrant community.
We will use the educational model, “See, Analyze, Judge, Act” to develop and evaluate our experiences.
