Attached is the February issue of the JMV International News Bulletin. Please be reminded that our AG 2005 (Paris) and the WYD (Cologne) are fast approaching. May I take this opportunity to remind the National Councils of the different countries concerned to submit the documents and forms for the AG 2005 as well as the REGISTRATION FORM for the World Youth Day as soon as possible. The travel information may come later.

Your sister in St. Vincent,
