What is World Youth Day?

Internationally, World Youth Day was established by St. John Paul II as an opportunity for young people in the diocese to gather and celebrate their faith together.

This week, thousands of young people are gathering in Lisbon, Portugal, for a week of prayer, conferences, and fellowship led by Pope Francis.
