15 Day Walk  

Having arrived in Australia on 1 July 2007 and completing a comprehensive 12 month national tour on 30 June 2008, the final part of the journey is a 15 day walking pilgrimage through the Sydney region.

From 1 July 2008, the WYD Cross and Icon will take a fifteen day walking pilgrimage through Greater Sydney, encompassing the Dioceses of Wollongong, Parramatta, Broken Bay and Sydney, culminating in the WYD Cross and Icon being carried into the Opening Mass of WYD08.

You are advised to let us know if you intend to come along to one or more of the events for the 15 Day Walk, to help us plan for crowds at these events. Generally, we assume you will participate in your local parish area event, however you are more than welcome to attend any event scheduled. You should bring your own food and water, as it will not be available. Also, we recommend you travel by public transport where possible, as there is limited parking at meeting sites. Note that all of the event involve walking from one location to another.

Help us help you by letting us know if you want to participate in the 15 Day Walk events. Our reservation system is now open.
