“Pilgrimages are a time for me to stop and think about my spiritual relationship with God and to make healthy, strong friendships”
— Pau
My name is Pau and I’m 14. I’m the second of 12 children and I’m in my 3rd year of secondary school. I got to know the parish 2 years ago, when we went to pick up my sister Emma, who is also coming to Lisbon, from the 2021 pilgrimage to Zaragoza. Lisbon will be my second pilgrimage, as last year I went on the one to Poland and I loved it. When I found out that this year we would be walking to Lisbon for 40 days to get to WYD, I couldn’t say I wouldn’t go. For me, pilgrimages are a time to stop and think about my spiritual relationship with God and to make healthy, strong friendships.
