The Catholic University of Murcia has been present at all meetings called by the Holy Father to celebrate a World Youth Day and, on this occasion, the volunteers of the institution departed on Sunday heading to Krakow, Polish city chosen by Pope to celebrate this World Youth Day that will begin next Tuesday, July 26 and will run throughout the week.
They began this journey with great enthusiasm, and willing to help in any way possible.
In this meeting with Pope Francisco and young people from around the world
José Luis Mendoza, president of the UCAM, who attended the Mass celebrated before leaving, said that the involvement of the institution sending volunteers "is a way for the university to continue collaborating with the Church in its evangelizing mission. they are witnesses of Christ's love "and said he hoped that this experience will serve to move closer to Jesus Christ.
Maria Mendoza, coordinator of the group, is the third time I go to this conference as a volunteer.
For her, this time is, if anything, even more special, because this year the conference has a greater role to be held in the hometown of John Paul II.
"He who began this project was, I think there's something special there waiting," he said, and encouraged young people to live this experience of faith and also come as pilgrims.
