What is World youth Day?
World Youth Day (WYD) is the gathering of young people from all over the world with the Pope. It is also a pilgrimage, a celebration of youth, an expression of the universal Church and an intense moment of evangelization for the youth world. Although its Catholic identity is clearly evident, WYD opens its doors to everyone, no matter how close to or distant from the Church they are.
It is celebrated at the diocesan level on Palm Sunday, and every two, three or four years as an international gathering in a city chosen by the Pope, with the presence of the Holy Father. It brings together millions of young people to celebrate their faith and sense of belonging to the Church.

Pre WYD Tips
The pilgrim delegation will have some webinars and a local pilgrimage in late Spring to help us prepare for our Pilgrimage. This will include getting to know one another, discussing the what and why of pilgrimage, learning about the Saints we will visit (St. Anthony of Padua (Lisben), St. Teresa of Avila and St. John of the Cross) and praying for our trip.
