The 39 pilgrims from our collaborative are leaving for World Youth Day on July 21st and returning on August 3rd. We would like to invite you to a send-off Mass on Thursday, July 21 at 12:00 noon at St Paul Church. We will have Mass together and then the pilgrims will board the bus and wave goodbye!
Also we invite you to follow our pilgrimage blog at www.sjspwellesley.org/wyd2016. We hope that we will be able to update you and share photos daily. The blog will also be available from both parish websites.
Please pray for all of us, for safe travels, health and mostly that through this pilgrimage God will pour down His blessings on our young people, setting their hearts on fire and filling them with a deeper love for Him. We will be praying for our sponsors and for the intentions of everyone in our collaborative while we are in Poland and especially at Mass with Pope Francis. We are so grateful for all your support.

World Youth Day 2016
World Youth Day (WYD) is a worldwide encounter with the Pope which is typically celebrated every few years in a different country. This year, we have 40 representatives from St. John and St. Paul parishes traveling to Krakow, Poland this summer. After attending the 11:00am Mass at St John’s together last Sunday, we held the first of our preparation meetings this year where we began to learn about the history of Poland and the Catholic church in Poland and specifically about the life of St. John Paul II.
We invite you to join with us and find out more about World Youth Day and our group by going to the World Youth Day link on the Parish website.
