About World Youth Day

World Youth Day was first hosted by St. John Paul II in 1985 in Rome. Over the years millions of young people from around the world to celebrate their Catholic faith. Although most well-known as an international gathering, World Youth Day is an annual event. Some years, it is marked with an international event, such as in 2023, when World Youth Day was hosted in Lisbon. In years when an international gathering isn’t organized, it is celebrated on the Solemnity of Christ the King. Each World Youth Day has a theme and writes a message from the Pope specifically for young people. This year the theme is ‘Rejoicing in Hope (Romans 12:12)’ Pope Francis’ message most recent message, for World Youth Day in Lisbon, can be found on the Vatican Website.
