Anthony Beckner - WYD'11 (Madrid)Hi, I'm A.J. Beckner and I am a sophomore at Holy Trinity Diocesan High School, and a part of the youth group that is going to World Youth Day in August. I first found out about WYD three years ago when some members of our parish made the pilgrimage to Australia in 2008.
It always seemed like a cool idea but I never imagined that I would be experiencing it in Spain in 2011. When we go we will do many things including participate in a mass said by Pope Benedict XVI, go to Avila, and meet with thousands of other Christians from around the world. From what I've heard from people who went to the last WYD, it is a very spiritual uplifting experience, and I can't wait to go.
