World Youth Day


  • World Youth Day in Particular Churches

    Pope Francis has invited dioceses to celebrate World Youth Day (WYD) locally on the Solemnity of
    Christ the King.
     It is a desire of the Holy Father that this should
    be a day for the universal Church to place young people at the
    centre of our pastoral attention, to pray for them, to engage
    young people and to reach out to them in a particular way as Church.  

    Below are some resources about WYD, the Pastoral Guidelines and Message from Pope Francis as well as suggestions for our local diocese to celebrate this day.
