We hope and expect that parishes will give you strong help to fundraise for WYD – please do ask your priest.

World Youth Day is open to all – if you have questions about your faith, or would like to deepen your faith, it is a superb opportunity.

The experience is partly cultural – discovering a new country, and meeting young people from all over the world – and includes numerous times of prayer, talks by Bishops and Cardinals, and Masses led by the Pope. Come with an open heart – and be prepared for a depth and focus on a young and joyful faith, full of energy and hope.

Please be aware that World Youth Day requires some physical and mental robustness; a long journey; large crowds, and several miles of walking on some days. Everyone is very welcome to come – but do be aware of the demands of the trip!
