Pilgrim Profile: Eric Werneburg

Eric Werneburg - WYD '11 in Madrid, Spain
My name is Eric Werneburg, and I am a sophomore at Chaminade High School.  At first, I didn't want to ask my parents about World Youth Day because I knew the trip would cost a lot of money, but they felt it would be a once-in-a-lifetime experience for me and encouraged me to go.  I've been active at OLM for my entire life, but I really would like to meet new people.  World Youth Day sounds like it will be a lot of fun for me.  Because I am fairly outgoing, I believe I will make a lot of new friends from other countries.  Fortunately, I have been studying Spanish since I was in 5th Grade, so hopefully I can communicate well in Madrid.  I also think it would be great to receive Eucharist consecrated by Pope Benedict XVI.
