World Youth Day 2023
Lisbon, Portugal

What is it
World Youth Day (WYD) is the gathering of young people from all over the world with the Pope. It is also a pilgrimage, a celebration of youth, an expression of the universal Church and an intense moment of evangelization for the youth world. Although its Catholic identity is clearly evident, WYD opens its doors to everyone, no matter how close to or distant from the Church they are.  It is celebrated at the diocesan level on the Feast of Christ the King, and every two, three or four years as an international gathering in a city chosen by the Pope, with the presence of the Holy Father. It brings together millions of young people to celebrate their faith and sense of belonging to the Church. It is a new stimulus to the faith, hope and charity of the entire host country community. With young people as its protagonists, World Youth Day also seeks to promote peace, unity and fraternity among peoples and nations around the world.


Ready to experience World Youth Day for yourself?
World Youth Day is a unique way to deepen your faith and grow closer to Christ through prayer and the sacraments, together with hundreds of thousands of other young people who share your interests and ambitions.
