Welcome to World Youth Day Sydney 2008!
World Youth Day is the largest youth event in the world and will be held in Sydney from Tuesday 15 to Sunday 20 July 2008.
Organised by the Catholic Church, World Youth Day brings together young people from around the globe to celebrate and learn about their faith on a more regular basis.
Sydney was announced as the host city for the 23rd World Youth Day at the conclusion of the last international World Youth Day in Cologne, Germany in August 2005. WYD08 will be the largest event Australia has ever hosted. It will attract over 125,000 international visitors - more than the 2000 Olympics.
WYD08 will mark the first visit of His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI to Australia and we look forward to welcoming him to the "Great South Land of the Holy Spirit".
Through the WYD08 experience, young people from throughout the world will make a pilgrimage in faith, meet, and experience the love of their God. World Youth Day is an invitation from the Pope to the youth of the world to celebrate their faith around a particular theme. Everyone is welcome to attend.
