Registrations for World Youth Day 2008 (WYD08) are nearing 200,000, organizers for the July event have announced.
“Our estimations for the event have always been based on 125,000 international and 100,000 domestic registered pilgrims,” stated WYD08 Chief Operating Officer Danny Casey.
Casey said that international registrants had registered early, but registrations from Australians are presently rising.
“We always knew that the Aussies would come in late, but we are seeing growth in this segment as well.
