Hi, I'm Jennifer!

I'm a student at Stoughton High School, in Stoughton, Wisconsin, with big dreams.

Many of my dreams are probably the same as yours: I want to see the world, get into college, keep a steady job and I want to have fun doing it all. However, where our dreams may differ is our plans for this August. One of my many ambitions is to travel to Madrid, Spain for World Youth Day, in the summer of 2011.

I am a youth with a strong relationship with my church and catholic faith. I enjoy learning more about our religious and spiritual callings. At World Youth Day, i will have the rare opportunity to celebrate my faith with our Pope, Pope Benedict XVI.

Me, along with five other high school students, of St. Ann Church, are working hard to earn enough money to make this life changing experience a reality. One of many ways you can support us, and our mission, is to purchase a World Youth Day GeoCoin.

You can read an article that our local Catholic Herald paper did on our GeoCoin at: http://www.madisoncatholicherald.org/news/around-diocese/1869-wyd-geocoin.html

My hope is that hundreds of people purchase these coins and set its destination to Madrid, Spain so that these coins make the same type of pilgrimage that I and my friends plan to take. How cool would it be to be able to track and monitor your geocoin on its travels to Madrid, Spain if you could not go yourself, or even cooler that you meet up with it and find it when you get to Madrid, Spain if you go to World Youth Day!!

There are 3 different types of custom designed 2011 World Youth Day coins you can purchase:
- A non-activated and trackable GeoCoin made of solid bronze 2" in diameter
- A 2" solid bronze commemorative medallion
- A 2" solid bronze commemorative medallion keychain

You can learn more about our World Youth Day plans and all of these items can be purchased at: http://www.catholic-youth-designs.com

All proceeds will go to benefit youth from St. Ann's Parish going to World Youth Day in Madrid, Spain.

Thanks and please pray for us in our spiritual pilgrimage to Madrid, Spain.

Jennifer

Read the encyclical Mortalium Animos before you go. It can be a "life changing experience" as well.

I honestly feel terrible for these young people that don't even know what the true Catholic Faith really is...

I was fortunate my mother found the true Mass when I was 15 years old before I jumped off the edge of oblivion in adulthood, and had my head turned in the right direction first.

I only hope this young lady will get the grace from God to be able to see that what she's following chasing after "world youth day" where they hand out condoms and other such blasphemies, is not the real Catholic Faith, but a fraud.

But let your speech be yea, yea: no, no: and that which is over and above these, is of evil.
