MESSAGE OF HIS HOLINESS
POPE BENEDICT XVI
FOR THE TWENTY-SIXTH WORLD YOUTH DAY (2011)
The themes for World Youth Days are:
2009: ‘We have set our hope on the living God’ (1 Timothy 4:10)
2010: “Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” (Mark 10:17)
2011:”Rooted and built up in Jesus Christ, firm in the faith” (Colossians 2:7)
Each year, World Youth Day is celebrated on Palm Sunday. The exception is when an international gathering takes place. The next international gathering will take place from the 15th-21st August, 2011 in Madrid, Spain.
A collection of resources to develop and assist Youth Ministry programs are available. A selection of resources can be found here.
