What are you most excited about during Days in the Dioceses Melbourne?
As a Melbournian, I look forward to expressing my faith not only with young people from our own state of Victoria but also with those who will be visiting Melbourne and staying with us prior to World Youth Day 2008 in Sydney.

Why are you excited about World Youth Day 2008 in Sydney?
I am excited about the opportunity to interact with young people from all around the world who share in the same faith as I do. Being a young Catholic in today’s society is at times difficult and challenging, and I believe that through the experience of World Youth Day, this will dramatically change.

What do you hope to take away from the WYD08 pilgrimage experience?
Not only do I hope to gain a better understanding of myself, but of myself as a Catholic. I believe that I will be able to understand the true extent of my faith through the World Youth Day experience. •
