Win a Free Trip to World Youth Day!

Now is an exciting time to be Catholic. Two thousand years ago, right after the events of Pentecost, the Apostles boldly went out and preached the Gospel in new ways. Think about the wide-open world they had to preach to, a world that had literally never heard of Jesus Christ. Sometimes, it can seem like there’s no new ground to cover… but your passion is something new. There are still lands to be witnessed to; there are still people who have never seen a Catholic that loved their faith.

Your generation is uniquely equipped to spread God’s word. No one understands the quickly changing world like you – you know the media, the technology, and the challenges of modern-day living. You have a chance to witness like no one ever before.

Our friends at ‘Goodness Reigns’ have come up with a way to help you rise to the challenge – and potentially win some amazing prizes. Have you ever heard of World Youth Day? It’s when, every few years, over a million Catholic youth from all over the globe gather together to worship God… and hang out with the Pope. Yep, B16 comes too.

2011. Madrid, Spain. Want to go for free (and bring your friends along too)? Check the details.
