World Youth Day 2013



World Youth Day 2013 will be held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil from July 23rd to July 28th.


During his Palm Sunday Mass, Pope Francis emphasized the important role the youth has both in the Church and in the world. He urged them to not be ‘ashamed of the Cross.’ Before roughly 250,000 pilgrims he announced that he will travel to Brazil in late July to lead World Youth Day in Rio, where about 2 million youths are expected.
POPE FRANCIS
“I joyfully look forward to next July in Rio de Janeiro! I will see you in that great city in Brazil! Prepare well,  prepare spiritually above all – in your communities, so that our gathering in Rio may be a sign of faith for the whole world.”
