What is World Youth Day?

World Youth Day (WYD) is a global gathering of young Catholics from around the world who come together to celebrate their faith, deepen their relationship with Christ, and experience the universal Church. Founded by St. John Paul II, WYD brings together pilgrims for prayer, worship, catechesis, cultural exchange, and an unforgettable encounter with the Holy Father. Through this transformative journey, young people are inspired to grow as missionary disciples and return home renewed in faith, friendship, and purpose.
