Registration:
-
The Registration link only for the Group Leaders will be made available on the 5th March 2020 afternoon. This will be emailed to the Dioceses and made available on our website which we hope to finalize next week.
-
The registration will allow groups of 15 or 25 or 50 participants. If you choose a group number you will be given exactly those number of spaces to add your group and the form will not allow you to send if it has less people. If you repeat names, you will have to pay for each name that you added.
-
The group leader is required to manage the registration on behalf of the group. S/he will register his / her details and send them. The registration team will review his / her submission and approve, by giving specific Reference Code/Number and then that person will be able to add the rest of the information including the names of his / her group members.
-
Groups are either from Parishes, Deaneries, Diocese, Associations, Sodalities, Movements, but correct information is required and the registration team will verify the authenticity of the information submitted before a group leader is approved to continue with the registration process.
-
A group leader cannot register two or more groups under his / her name, otherwise, the system will charge you a full fee each time you add your name to a group or repeat a name. This is meant to avoid having one person leading a large group and losing control of it.
-
Groups of 15 must have at least two responsible adults. Groups of 25 must have at least 3 responsible adults. Groups of 50 must have at least 5 responsible adults.
-
All Group Leaders’ contacts from the same diocese will be sent to the Diocesan Bishop, the Diocesan Youth Chaplain, and the Diocesan Youth Coordinator to be in contact with all groups for spiritual preparation and other logistics.
-
The time between September and November will be reserved for Spiritual Preparation. The issue of having our young people attending large gatherings unprepared has been raised in many platforms. The Mini World Youth Day is a pilgrimage and some level of spiritual preparedness is required.
-
We request that groups start registering people as soon as possible so that we avoid having a deficit and late preparations.
