World Youth Day, organized by the Catholic Church, is the
largest youth event in the world.
World Youth Day brings together young people from around the
globe to celebrate and learn about their faith on a more regular
basis. Young people from throughout the world will make a
pilgrimage in faith, meet, and experience the love of God. World
Youth Day is an invitation from the Pope to the youth of the world
to celebrate their faith around a particular theme.

The next World Youth Day will be held in Sydney, Australia, July
15-20, 2008.
