2. RECEPTION AREAS

Upon arrival, the Delegation/ Small Group will be ushered to a Holding Area, while the

In the Host-Parish Desk, the following will be done:

a. Verification: Head presents the IDs of each pilgrim, to be checked.
b. Issue of Receipt: Delegation Head (only) receives OR.
c. Pilgrim Kit Distribution: Depending on the size of the Delegation/ Small Group,
the Head may ask some of his/her members for assistance. It is important for
each pilgrim to check contents.

Delegation/ Small Group. A QR Code is at the back of each ID; once scanned,
the pilgrim whose name is in the ID is considered enrolled into the
NYD2019Cebu system.

After this, the Delegation/ Small Group is brought to their assigned accommodations.

3. ACCOMMODATIONS

Upon arrival at their Host-Parish, the Delegation/ Small Group is given a short welcome
and orientation.

After this, the volunteers in the Host-Parish assist the pilgrims to go to their assigned
foster families or other housing facilities prepared for them.

Each pilgrim is highly encouraged to use this time from April 23 until morning of April 24
to share in the life of their assigned family/ community.
