Who caN go to World Youth Day? If you will be betweeN the ages of 18-35 by JaNuary 1, 2019, Pope FraNcis iNvites you to World Youth Day 2019!

Although World Youth Day is aN aNNual eveNt at the VaticaN, iN 2019, it will be held iN PaNama City, PaNama from JaNuary 19-28. Why should I go? It is a chaNce to see Catholicism iN a whole New light. It is a chaNce to meet people from all over the world aNd see how they live out their faith. It is a chaNce to say the StatioNs of the Cross aNd celebrate Mass with the Pope. It is a chaNce to have a caNdle-lit vigil with millioNs of people with differeNt backgrouNds aNd laNguages, who are all there for the same reasoN that you are: to celebrate all that you caN accomplish through our HeaveNly, LoviNg Father.

As Pope FraNcis said at World Youth Day 2016, “Jesus is Not the Lord of comfort, security aNd ease. He is eNcouragiNg you to dream.
