Dear Friends,

A group of ten catholic young adults and I are going to help deepen their faith by attending World Youth Day 2016 in Poland, where they will hear the inspiring words of the Holy Father, Pope Francis. On behalf of St. Thomas Aquinas Parish located in Brooklyn, NY, I am asking for your support of Open Your Heart, Share His Light: World Youth Day 2016. 

World Youth Day is a unique opportunity to deepen her faith and engage with other young Catholics. She is excited to embark on this new chapter within her spiritual journey, and to continue to learn to live as a Catholic and how God wants us to live

100% of your gift made through my page will directly go to our parish to send us to World Youth Day, via Aid to the Church in Need, a Catholic charity under the guidance of the Holy Father.

My fundraising goal is currently $1,000.  With the support of friends and family, I can make this dream a reality. Be a part of our journey to World Youth Day 2016 and donate by clicking on the Support link at right. 

Thank you and may God bless you,

~ Claire-Iphanise Michel

P. S. Every dollar you give (up to $100,000) will be matched by generous donors to Aid to the Church in Need and will be used to support suffering and persecuted youth and refugees in Syria, an issue of deep concern to the Holy Father.
