How do we work it out?

  1. We add up all the items in the common fund: what we already had before opening this website (flags, cakes, the lottery, the pilgrims’ contributions and the parish’s donations) and what each campaign on the website brings in.
  2. Each pilgrim puts in €1,200 from their own pocket, and we count it as already raised: 55 × €1,200 = €66,000. What’s still missing is what we have to raise together.
  3. From a campaign, the only thing that counts is what is really left for the trip: the donation for each item minus what it costs us, and only once the order has been paid. Home delivery doesn’t add to it.
  4. Orders that haven’t been paid yet don’t count and aren’t shown: here you’ll only find what we’ve already received.
  5. When we know how much the trip costs, this target will turn into a journey: the 9,594 km in a straight line from Barcelona to Seoul. If we have half the target, we’ll be halfway there. Until there’s a target, we don’t talk about kilometres.
  6. The figures come straight from the orders and the items, and this page is updated every five minutes.

Where the money goes

Everything we raise goes towards the group’s trip to Seoul:

  • the flights from Barcelona to Seoul and back
  • accommodation
  • WYD registration
  • getting around once we’re there
