We are calling for expressions of interest for WYD Rio 2013.

If you are interested in attending WYD next year, or would like further information please contact Lorna at: youth@bathurst.catholic.org.au or call 02 6334 6400.

We are currently looking at options for our Diocese and need to know how many pilgrims we could expect.

Rio is shaping up to be an exciting destination as well as a mission based pilgrimage.

Please let us know your intentions as soon as possible.
