World Youth Day
 
World Youth Day (WYD) is a meeting of young people from all over the world, gathered to celebrate and learn about their faith. It is a great worldwide encounter with the Pope which is celebrated every three years in a different country and is one of the primary means by which the Church proclaims the message of Christ to and expresses its concern for young people. 
 
The upcoming World Youth Day will take place in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil on July 23 to 28, 2013.

  

Interested in learning about the possibility of going? The cost for the 10 day trip will be approximately $2200 per student.  To express interest please contact Campus Ministry at cministry@jcu.edu by the end of this semester.

"Prayer Angels"

Prayer Angels is a new student-initiated prayer group on campus that has two goals: 1) to spread the awareness and power of prayer, 2) to break down religious divides. Anonymous prayer requests can be submitted, using this Wufoo form,  and each request will be distributed to the "prayer angels," who will personally pray for each intention. Anyone can submit a prayer request. Contact Ashley for more information.
