Resources
The
Pontifical Mission Societies is pleased to present a
unique resource for young people, designed to help them
prayerfully prepare for WYD (“Go”), to intentionally
celebrate the day itself (“Make”), and to continue the
experience as missionary disciples after WYD 2013 comes
to a close (“Disciples”).
This book is written for use by both groups attending
the event in Rio with the Holy Father, as well as for
those who will not travel to Rio but who are
nevertheless called to respond to the Holy Father’s
specific call to all young people for WYD 2013.
Read an informational flyer
with more details about this comprehensive 120-page
resource, which integrates Scripture, Church teaching,
prayers, ice-breakers, activities, small group and
personal reflections, as well as musical suggestions
from well-known Catholic artists.
Online ordering is now open at
www.propfaith.net/wydrio2013.
