Historia


After the pandemic, we expected that peace would come back, but instead, we rediscovered ourselves with the harshness of war, social differences, and the fragility of life.

 

Now we ask ourselves where are we going?

 

Today many young people find an answer in World Youth Day 2023: "Mary got up and left without delay" (Lk 1, 39)

 

So like she did, many of the young people from Santa Maria del Camino parish stand up and ask for your help to raise the funds needed to go to Lisbon together.



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 Palm Sunday, 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.


Since its first edition in Rome in 1986, World Youth Day has proven to be a laboratory of faith, a place of birth for vocations to marriage and consecrated life, and an instrument for the evangelization and transformation of the Church.  


It aims to provide all participants with a universal Church experience, fostering a personal encounter with Jesus Christ. 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 people and nations around the world.
