YOUth are the SALT of the EARTH and LIGHT of the WORLD (Cf: Mt 5:13-14), Pope John Paul II’s slogan to youth for the year, and food for thought for MI Youth events for Summer, 2002. Join us for the MI World Youth Day Pilgrimage to Canada, July 22-29, 2002 and/or an MI Teen 5 Day Summer Program. Let’s make it a 100% REAL Catholic Summer to remember!

What if our salt goes FLAT? Who digs salt-free popcorn or salt-free fries? The Pope calls YOUth to season this PLANET with Christ. Don’t be a bland Catholic; come discover the fever for the flavor of Christ in your life. Pope John Paul II tells us: Just as salt gives flavour to food and light illumines the darkness, so too holiness gives full meaning to life. May God make you, dear young people, the saints of the third millennium! (JPII, WYD Letter, 2002)

Holy ZING! Get in touch with the REAL YOU and become the saint you were created to be. After all, no one likes an IMITATION. Mark your calendars NOW and sign up for some life-changing experiences. Add that HOLY ZING to our planet that only YOUth can bring! (See below to register for the MI WYD, 2002 Pilgrimage to Canada.)

World Youth Day, Toronto, 2002 (ages 16-35), July 22 – July 29, 2002
This exclusive MI Youth Pilgrimage includes the following and so much MORE: Daily Mass, priests available to hear Confessions and provide spiritual direction, service projects, formation in the spirituality of St. Maximilian Kolbe, and an opportunity to make an act of total consecration to Mary.

The pilgrimage begins at 4 pm on July 22, 2002 at Marytown, 1600 West Park Ave., Libertyville, IL, and concludes on July 29, 2002 at Marytown. We will depart Libertyville to Niagara Falls where we will visit the Shrine of Our Lady of Fatima, with the chance to view Niagra Falls. There we will visit a butterfly conservatory, one of the largest in North America. Traveling through Montreal and Quebec City, we will venerate the tomb of Blessed Kateri and visit a traditional Iroquoin Village. There we will experience Indian song and dance, taking in the atmosphere that the French Canadian Martyrs would have experienced. Be inspired by the martyrs’ sacrifice with a Mass at the Chapel of the Jesuits. Then on to Trois-Rivieres and visits to the Shrine of Notre Dame du Cap and la Cap du Madeleine, followed by a visit to renowned parishes on the breath-taking island of Ile d’Orleans. Wet your appetite with dinners in places like Hard Rock Café and the traditional French Canadian “Sugar Shack”. Finally, gear up to camp out under the stars with youth from around the globe for the WYD Vigil and Closing Mass with the Pope. Don’t miss out!
