Bishop Frank J. Caggiano has set a goal of taking 300 young people from the Bridgeport Diocese to World Youth Day in Krakow, Poland next year.
“It is my hope that people from all economic backgrounds will be able to attend. In that spirit, I have instituted two programs to ease the financial burden of this trip, our scholarship program, and our incentive program,” Caggiano posted on his Facebook page.
The 12-day trip begins on Friday, July 22, 2016. The trip will also include a visit to the Auschwitz, the German concentration camp where millions lost their lives, including Saints Maximilian Kolbe, and Edith Stein. After stopping there, the group is hoping to make a brief stop in Wadowice, the home town of John Paul II. On July 27, the group will welcome Pope Francis to Krakow. The group will also attend a candlelight vigil and outdoor Mass with the pope.
Caggiano said those who register by 11:59 p.m.Monday, June 8 will qualify for the incentive program. “They will have until August 31st to recommend up to two people; if both of those people sign up, the original registrant will earn 1,500 dollars (or 1,000, if they recommend one person). Furthermore, anyone recommended will earn 500 dollars towards their trip.”
The bishop said “We are also providing need-based scholarships for those who cannot afford this trip. We will begin the distribution of funds starting June 17, which will constitute our first wave of scholarships. I encourage everyone who needs it to apply for our scholarships.”
Caggiano said young people “can sign up without a deposit, and that you do not have to make that deposit until scholarship funds are distributed. My goal is to make attending this trip as easy as possible. I cannot emphasize enough how much I believe in World Youth Day, I wish I could send every eligible young adult in our Diocese. The experience is so incredibly moving and powerful, and it is my hope that the 300 people our Diocese sends will come out of the trip enriched, fulfilled, and on fire for the Lord.”
