World Youth Day is a gathering of youth and young adults from over 150 countries. These “pilgrims” gather together every two years in a celebration of faith and community that lasts two weeks. At World Youth Day you will not find the boundaries of race or politics.

What you will find is the presence of God and how He works in our lives. You will come to know that God is not only present in your life and your church but in the world church. This two week celebration closes with a mass celebrated by the Pope and about 1 million participants.
