Petaling Jaya, 7 August 2011 - The Assumption Church, Petaling Jaya Malaysia has one of the largest groups of Pilgrims representing Malaysia at this year's Madrid WYD. The contingent from Assumption Church makes up approximately 20% of the Pilgrims registered from Malaysia.
Malaysia has the 3rd largest contingent of pilgrims from ASEAN attending the world youth day this year, after Philippines and Indonesia.
The pilgrims from the Assumption Church began their spiritual preparations early in 2011, with weekly gatherings and retreats to prepare the pilgrims for this great event.
In an effort to build up the excitement for the World Youth Day, the pilgrims developed many different T-shirt designs and themes linked to the world youth day. Aside from the official contingent T-shirt, 5 major T-shirts were designed with specific themes and colors, representing various parts of the Human Body.
Red - Hands
Green - Lips
White - Body
Black - Eyes
Yellow - Feet
Here is a video of the the various excited faces of the Assumption Church pilgrims in their bright colored T-shirts, ready to STORM Madrid.
