The next World Youth Day is fast approaching and we’d like you to join us for this amazing pilgrimage, to be with hundreds of thousands (possibly millions!) of other young Catholics and see the Pope.

When?

31 July – 9 August.

Who?

This pilgrimage is for those aged between 18-35 years.

How many?

Just 25 spaces available – so book soon!

What is World Youth Day?

World Youth Day is an international pilgrimage for young people instituted by Saint John Paul II.

Why attend World Youth Day 2023 with the Oblates?

People all over the world will be making the journey to Lisbon for this incredible experience of a truly universal Church. You will meet Catholics from every continent and discover that the Church is vibrant and full of life. This is your opportunity to see that “the Church is alive, the Church is young” – Pope Benedict.

This will be a great chance to meet people who have travelled from other parts of the world including Oblate parishes, encounter St. Eugene de Mazenod and prepare to celebrate World Youth Day with Pope Francis.
