What is World Youth Day?

Organized by the Catholic Church, this biennial gathering provides an extraordinary opportunity for young people to come together, share their beliefs, and deepen their spiritual connections. This year, World Youth Day will be held in Lisbon, Portugal, from August 1st to 6th, offering an incredible opportunity for young Catholics to come together and celebrate their faith.
