WYD Delegates From Central Diocese Mostly Priests and Seminarians
29/4/08
Pending visa applications, a central Philippine diocese tentatively plans to send five priests, five lay youths and 13 seminarians to Australia for the World Youth Day (WYD) celebration in July. Father Glenn Magpusao told UCA News on April 15 that Kalibo diocese made sure students from its Santo Nino Seminary were included in the WYD selection process as part of its program to let seminarians “immerse in youth activities.” The seminary is for high school and philosophy studies, prior to theology. Diocesan priests will serve as “guides,” Father Magpusao added. The priest, director of the Diocesan Secretariat for the Youth Apostolate, reported they are currently preparing the official list of delegates and only those willing to “spend out of their own pockets” would be included.
