The USCCB National World Youth Day Office invites World Youth Day alumni to share their stories. If you had a profound, life-changing experience at World Youth Day (WYD) or if you had a conversion of heart, submit a short 200- to 300-word piece about your experience.

Topics can include your favorite memories, what WYD means to you, how the experience was a pilgrimage for you, who made your trip possible or who made the experience special.

The USCCB is seeking reflection pieces for resources that will assist pilgrims and leaders as they journey to WYD 2016 in Krakow or stateside. Reflections may apply to an international or stateside WYD celebration from 1984 to the present.

Submit your reflection in .doc or .docx format to wyd@usccb.org. Submissions are due Monday, March 9.
