January, 2010
Dear young people,
In the summer of 2008, I had the joy of participating in World Youth Day in Sydney, Australia. I went with a group of young people from our Diocese to be with the Holy Father and youth from all over the world. On the final day, Pope Benedict XVI celebrated Mass with half a million people. It was an unforgettable experience of communion, faith, joy, and friendship that changed the lives of many and strengthened the faith of all of us.
At the end of this special Mass, the Holy Father announced the next World Youth Day will be held in Madrid, Spain in the summer of 2011. The theme the Pope has chosen is “Rooted and Built up in Jesus Christ, Firm in the Faith” (Colossians 2:7). I warmly invite you to come with me and many other young people from our Diocese to be with the Holy Father and young people from around the world as we open our hearts to Christ and grow strong in our faith.
Please read your parish bulletin for more information and also discuss with the Youth Minister at your parish to learn how you can join our Diocesan group for this pilgrimage to Madrid, Spain.
Faithfully in Christ,
Most Reverend William E. Lori
Bishop of Bridgeport
