Plans underway for World Youth Day 2005!

World Youth Day 2005 will be held in Cologne, Germany, August 16-21. The Diocese of New Ulm is in the process of planning a trip to attend this extraordinary event.

The diocesan Office of Youth Ministry is currently working with a local travel agency to develop a diocesan package. At this point, cost of the trip is at a very rough estimate of between $2,200 and $2,500 per person. Plans would include a visit to Ulm, Germany, the sister city of New Ulm, MN.

Youth and young adults ages 18-30 (ages 16-17 with parish supervision) interested in traveling with members of the New Ulm diocese to World Youth Day in Cologne, Germany should contact their local Catholic parish or the diocesan Office of Youth Ministry, 1400 Sixth Street North, New Ulm, MN 56073; (507) 359-2966; e-mail: cblickem@dnu.org.
