World Youth Day week is upon us, and millions of young pilgrims from allover the world are gathering in Rio for the events leading up to this Sunday’s Mass with the Holy Father. Most Australian pilgrims have just completed a ‘mission week’, serving in poor communities around South America.

Emma is with pilgrim group ‘SYD04’, who have just spent the week in Brazil’s Forteleza working with the Shalom Community. She caught up with 17-year-old Brazilian local Neto for his thoughts on faith, community and hosting the Aussie pilgrims.

While you may not have made it to Rio, there are a number of pilgrim blogs going around so you can hear about the experience. Check out Australian Catholic University (ACU) and XT3 video blogs and the Parramatta Diocese blog. If you know of others please do link them in the comments!

Cities around Australia will also be holding WYD events, including the Rio Experience in Sydney. Once again – if you know of others, please let us know.
