World Youth Day in Lisbon, Portugal, will “open horizons and hearts”, Pope Francis said in a video message to the young adults who will attend the international gathering in August.

We appeal for donations to help with the costs of enabling six of our young people to attend. The young people are from Ullapool(1), Fort Augustus(1) and Beauly(4).

Envelopes will be available in all the churches in St Mary’s Parish.

Published costs are outlined on the Youth Day web page:
