DIOCESE OF
VICTORIA
Prayer for Pilgrims Lord, lead me along the path of your love and keep me faithful to the journey I make. With the fire of your Spirit illumine the road I travel and help me up when I stumble and fall. With your Word of truth make me a faithful pilgrim and help me to choose what is right and just and true. From your heart of love give me the grace I need to love my fellow pilgrims and to share with them your peace. With the power of your cross teach me to pour myself out in service of the poor, that my life might be filled with your love. From the table of your Word and your Body & Blood, nourish me with food that gives life. Lead my steps safely along your path and gather me in with all your sons and daughters, together with our Holy Father, and all who make their way to you and the life you promise. Grant this and all good things through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Room Blocks Hotels in Rio have essentially frozen any further reservations for WYD, waiting to assess commercial
conditions before authorizing more sales.
At this time, we are holding the single largest allotment of rooms/ beds for WYD in Rio.
Due to BNT historically large volume with all hotels in Rio and longstanding relationships with hotels we are confident that we will increase further through:
Adding rooms to existing blocks at hotels. Adding new blocks at new hotels.
Room Rates and Terms & Conditions
Hotels are for the most part NOT willing to finalize rates for WYD until early 2012. Hotels have indicated they will request deposits far in advance and prepayment
When rates become available, Brazil Nuts will negotiate for fair and realistic terms.
