Here is the latest announcement from the press room:
Strong demand for airline seats into Australia for World Youth Day Sydney 2008 (WYD08) has led to at least 36 extra flights being scheduled next month. Sydney Airport Corporation Ltd has confirmed that 35 new airline flights and one dedicated charter have been booked to bring passengers into Sydney in the lead-up to WYD08.
"World Youth Day is bringing international visitors into Sydney in droves," said Chief Operating Officer Danny Casey. "Our information is that almost every flight into Sydney is fully booked in the lead-up to the event and 36 more flights have had to be added so far. " Sydney is going to come alive this winter with 125,000 young people from more than 170 nations arriving here to celebrate their faith with 100,000 young people from all over Australia ."
Basilians are based in Toronto, and minister throughout North and South America. As teachers and priests, they are dedicated to education and evangelization which manifests itself in a variety of ministries. To learn more about the Basilians, vieit them at www.basilianvocation.org.
