Pope Francis' Full Schedule for his Trip to Lisbon, Portugal, for World Youth Day, with Over 400,000 Youth, is Released by the Vatican
The Holy See Press Office on the 6th of June, released Pope Francis' schedule for the 2023 World Youth Day, to take place from the 1st to 6th of August 2023 in Lisbon, Portugal. Over 400,000 young people have registered to take part in the event so far. In a video message released earlier this month, the Holy Father said that the desire of these young people to travel to the Portuguese capital later this year fills him with joy. Pope Francis has presided over four World Youth Days, having previously done so in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 2013; Krakow, Poland, in 2016; and Panama City, Panama, in 2019. World Youth Day in Lisbon will be the 37th, and was originally scheduled to take place in the Portuguese capital in 2022, but was postponed due to the Covid-19 pandemic. (Vatican News)
