"Rooted and built up in Christ. Firm in the faith "  Programme 2010/2011 of the Fraternity of Young    The Holy Father has invited young people from around the world to go with him to Madrid for the XXVI World Youth Day. Obviously, the 'invitation also applies to us, Youth Fraternity OF JERUSALEM. 
 Together with the Youth Ministry of Pistoia in Tuscany and all the young people we decided to twin with the city of Valencia where we will be hosted 
 9 to 15 August 2011 . On August 15 
  we move with the bus to Madrid where, together with all the other kids from around the world will live the experience of WYD. The 
 22  will conclude with Mass of the Pope and return by ferry on August 23 
 . The total cost is 590 €. It may seem a lot but remember they are 2 weeks in Spain! Soon, we will ask the membership book in advance because the ferry, we keep prices low ... To get started we suggest three concrete actions: •  
 pray and participate in all meetings on an ongoing basis (Lectio Divina, an Adoration Friday of the month) we will make preparations for retreats during the year and at this final moment; 
 companions • Search Travel: it means involving other young people that you know, inviting them throughout the year on Thursday and finally to WYD 
 • Save money: not only for ourselves but for those last minute might be in need of financial assistance. One idea would be to create a kind of piggy bank in which to put a few cents on Thursday after Thursday. It would be profitable lotteries, Christmas dinner, buy some sweets after Sunday Mass ... accepted ideas and it would be nice to see you all in the desire to attend not to leave home.    The Youth Fraternity of Jerusalem is found 
  every Thursday at the premises of the parish of St. Paul to 
  at 20.00 for a fraternal meal followed by a meeting that lasted until 22.30 
 .  
 The meetings may provide or 
 Lectio Divina  or 
  meeting of spirituality, that is, a deepening of some chapters of the Book of Life or topical issues.  
 The meetings of the whole 'year will be something of a spiritual baggage preparatory to experience very strong as 
  WYD in Madrid to attend.   
  Every Friday the boys take turns participating in a fraternity when 
 Eucharistic Adoration in the church of S. Philip  organized by all the boys in the Diocese of Pistoia and coordinated by the Youth Ministry of our city.   
 Every first Friday of the month to participate as a group    First Friday Mass, held at 'internal context of the parish in which we are engaged. An initiative  
 a bit 'alternative to the Lectio and to' worship is that of 
 Cineforum  that the vision of some film does not necessarily mesh with later Christian reflection and sharing of the film.   
 Other dates to remember: November 21     AFTERNOON ARRIVAL OF THE HEAD OF STATE IN THE PIAZZA ALBANIA Pistoia. PARTICIPATION IN THIS MOMENT BECOMES A SIGN OF COMMUNION AND FELLOWSHIP.
