A small group of Estonian pilgrims departed on Monday for World Youth Day in Lisbon, Portugal, which kicks off on 1 August.

Despite their small numbers, the Estonian pilgrims are eager to bear witness to their faith and share their joy with others. "Estonia is well known as not having many people who practice their faith,” she said, “but our youth would like to show that for those who do, their Catholic faith is important and it is deeply rooted in their hearts.”

According to one of their spiritual guides, Fr. Tomasz Materna, parish priest of Sts. Peter and Paul Cathedral in Tallinn, the highlight of their trip will likely be the closing WYD Mass with Pope Francis on 6 August.
