Why choose Youth in Europe? |
|||
| 1. | Experience Youth in Europe has more on-the-ground WYD experience than any pilgrimage company in the world. We are veterans of Denver 1993, Manila 1995, Paris 1997, Rome 2000, Toronto 2002, Cologne 2005 and Sydney 2008. |
||
| 2. | Faithfulness Our entire mission is to impart the Catholic Faith into the hearts and minds of the pilgrims God has given us. Our staff, guides, liaisons and evangelization team all love the Faith and will do their part to inspire. We do not offer pilgrimages for other faith traditions because we are not of another faith. |
||
| 3. | Cooperation We are working closely with the Archdiocese of Madrid to insure seamless communication and logistical sanity. Our WYD experience has put us in almost an advisory capacity in Madrid. |
||
 |
|||
| 4. | Flexibility Youth in Europe will be offering numerous different options for Pre and Post WYD pilgrimages. Your group can choose any option, different levels of accommodation orcustomize the entire experience. We can offer suggestions if you are unsure of how different options would affect the trip. |
||
| 5. | Value Be aware that many companies levy large surcharges just weeks prior to your final payment. While we have no control over the fuel surcharges airlines impose, none of our groups were asked to pay massive fees at the end or lose everything. We would be happy to provide references from our groups. |
||
| 6. | Madrid Our staff has been to Madrid and met with the staff of Youth and Young Adult Ministry at the Archdiocesan offices. At our meeting we gathered important details and made recommendations gleaned from our experience. |
||
| 7. | Flights Our staff is working with Delta, American, United, British, Lufthansa, Air France and Iberia Airlines to secure the proper seats for our groups. Flexibility by a day or two will be necessary in order to secure enough seats for all groups. |

~My overall impression concerning the trip to Europe was that it was absolutely incredible. I can surely say I had the best time of my life.. Youth from Illinois ~I want to take this opportunity to thank you so much for such a wonderful trip to World Youth Day 2005. The accommodations, the travel and everything was even better than I could imagine. I certainly am interested in having our group go to Sydney and am glad you are already getting started with preparations for travel there. Priest from California ~I don't think there are words to express how much I enjoyed that pilgrimage... even though there were some points in the trip where I was uncomfortable, and sick, I felt as if those times were beneficial to me. After all, shouldn't everyone try to offer up some self-sacrifice? Young Adult from New Mexico ~Thank you for a wonderful experience. Your team provided us with incredible hospitality and professionalism. They were all very competent and were always concerned to provide us with whatever we needed provided it was possible and reasonable. Chaperon from California ~My over all impression was that Youth in Europe is a very well run organization that is doing a wonderful thing for everyone. I really enjoyed going and i would love to travel with Y.I.E again. Youth from Montana ~Awesome. At first I was forgetting the phrase: "Pilgrimage not vacation," but when I got that into my head I began to have a great respect for your work. Giving us the opportunity to offer penances and mortifications was beneficial to all the souls in the world. Young Adult from California ~I had an awesome time! It was a completely different experience than Toronto... It really was the trip of a lifetime! Youth from Florida |
