Sharon,
Thanks for finally writing a book The Ultimate Pilgrimage For Catholic Youth. Having two
of my children travel with you to different World Youth Days, I found the book to be very helpful and a nice keepsake. With the first child you had to remind me and inform me every step of the way. There were many phone calls about what to expect and bring, etc. Once we had “The Book”, we bothered you a lot less. This was a great resource .
Having everything written out step by step really helped with the travel process. We had something to guide us through and remind us to stay on task. The time line before taking a big trip and getting everything together and trying to stay organized was a big help. My daughters also found it helpful on what to expect in a foreign country.
This was really The Ultimate Pilgrimage for my daughters. I hope other families can find it as helpful as we did. With the next World Youth Day being not far away, this book should be a great resource guide to many. Maybe my son can have the same wonderful experience that you shared with my daughters.
Thanks Again
Tricia Charamut

Congratulations on your new book! I'm sure it will be a big help to the young pilgrims of WYD-, particularly the first-timers.
