YOUNG people are being encouraged to register early for an upcoming “mini-World Youth Day” experience at the Brisbane Convention Centre.
The Archdiocesan Youth Day 2007 (AYD07) will be held on Saturday August 18 as part of the journey of the World Youth Day (WYD) Cross and Icon’s national tour.
The day will feature an energetic and exciting mix of music, cathechesis, liturgy, drama and festival style events and will provide participants with their first real taste of what to expect in Sydney in July 2008.
Brisbane WYD Secretariat project officer Michael Hart said the AYD07 program had been specifically modelled to look and feel like a mini-WYD.
Due to the size of the event, the Brisbane WYD Secretariat will quickly need to get a very clear picture of the numbers that will be attending.
At least 2000 people are expected on the day in what will be a good indication of the support and momentum for WYD that is building around the archdiocese.
Mr Hart said the Brisbane WYD Secretariat was encouraging pilgrimage group leaders to go to the WYD website ( www.wydbrisbane.org.au) and register their group numbers as soon as possible.
For groups of 30 or more the cost to attend AYD07 is $10 per person, for groups of 10 to 29 people it will be $15 and for individuals the price is $20 per ticket.
The cost of admission to AYD07 also covers entry to the Soulframe Concert, being held in the same venue from 6 to 7.30pm.
