The next World Youth Day will take place in Lisbon, Portugal in August 2023. The Office of Youth and Young Adult Ministry is hosting three information sessions for young adults to introduce them to World Youth Day and to present potential itineraries for this pilgrimage. We would like to encourage young adults to start discerning about the possibility of attending this experience, and get their feedback regarding these itinerary options. The information sessions take place on Monday, Jan. 24 and Thursday Jan. 27 in person at the Pastoral Center, and Monday, Jan. 31 via Zoom. Please consider helping us promote these sessions in your parish bulletin, website and/or social media:

• Attached you will find a few resources to use. In this Google Drive folder, you can also find a document called “How to use this folder” that gives you some ideas to use these resources.

Please keep us in your prayers as we continue to plan this pilgrimage with young adults from our Diocese. Is your parish planning their own pilgrimage? Let us know! We’d be happy to support your efforts. If you have any questions, please contact Benito Medrano at (714) 282-6043 or via email.
