cw Every year since 1984 the Pope has invited Young People to celebrate World Youth Day each year. Most years this happens at local levels, but every 2 or 3 years the Pope invites young people to join him for a special international festival. The diocese of Arundel & Brighton has been represented at most of the international World Youth Days. We took over 50 people to Sydney in 2008, and there were large groups in Cologne (2005), Toronto (2002) and many of the others. The next international World Youth Day will be in Madrid in 2011, and the diocesan pilgrimage will take place from 10-22 August 2011. Planning is underway and we now have a team of youth leaders! We shall spend five ‘Days in the Diocese’ followed by the festivities and events of the World Youth Day celebrations in Madrid. Check out the official World Youth Day website. The deadline for applying is August 1st, but do apply early to avoid disappointment!!
