Catholics to attend World Youth Day

About 70 people from the Diocese of Lexington will attend World Youth Day next week in Sydney, Australia.
But for those who can't be there, Lexington radio personality Leo Brown will broadcast his daily program, Diocese Live!, from Sydney. The program is heard on RealLife radio, 1380-AM, from 3:10 to 4 p.m. EDT
Brown will also record Pilgrim Podcasts, experiences of World Youth Day participants; blog about his own experiences; and upload photos. All the features will appear on www.realliferadio.com
”It's big stuff trying to make this broadcast happen,“ said Brown, 39.
World Youth Day is actually six days of activity, beginning July 15 with daily Mass, catechesis (teaching) and programs promoting the universality of the Catholic church. The event concludes July 20, when Pope Benedict XVI celebrates Mass at Randwick Racecourse in Sydney.
This year's event is expected to draw 125,000 international visitors to Australia. Most will range from their teens to 40.
The Lexington contingent, which included Bishop Ronald W. Gainer, departed last weekend for Auckland, New Zealand, where they will meet Catholics in the city and work on a service project before going to Sydney.
