Rueda (of Avila) and Alberto Plaza (Ciudad Real), noting their dioceses on the map
On Tuesday, the preparation of World Youth Day in the Diocese of Avila was a of the testimonies that were heard in the press conference offered at the headquarters of the World Youth Day in Madrid to present the program of "Days in the Diocese (DED)." Until then moved representatives of the Preparatory Commission for the DED in Avila to publicize nationally the proposal of our diocese for those days, prior to World Youth Day.
11 to August 15, 2011, 63 English dioceses offer young people from outside Spain participating in the WYD the opportunity to spend a time of fellowship with other young people in preparation for World Youth Day. "It'sa great opportunity to prepare for World Youth Day, while multiplying the impact of WYD for all parts of Spain," said Javier Igea, responsible for this program. Recently it has created a website (www.dedmadrid11.com) offers comprehensive information on all the sites participating in the program, which already can read news of our own diocese.
estimated participate in the program 'Days in the Dioceses' approximately 300,000 young people, spread throughout the English geography. Currently already registered more than 150,000 participants from 137 countries. 12 of the 63 dioceses have all their participants and covered parking spaces and one of them is Avila.
plan these days varies from place to place, and integrates cultural, historical tours, holiday times and also times of prayer and worship at the shrines as part of local religious identity. Those responsible for the DED appointed as notable example, the program of catechesis that our diocese has been prepared to present the spirituality of our great saints, and the gymkhana to be held in the city of Avila (which has attracted much attention.)
The DED started at WYD in Paris (1997). The Church in France promoted these encounters, as a way of facilitating the youth ministry in the dioceses of France, to get the whole country to welcome pilgrims from other countries and to encourage young French people to come to WYD. The experience was so good that it was also adopted in the following days in Italy, Canada, Germany and Australia.
