CWN Editor's Note: World Youth Day will take place in Lisbon from August 1-6.
“This is a wonderful occasion for young adults to have a significant encounter with Jesus Christ in the company of the universal Church,” said Bishop Robert Barron of Winona-Rochester (MN), chairman of the bishops’ Committee on Laity, Marriage, Family Life and Youth. “It is also a moment when the Holy Father and the Church’s leadership get an opportunity to listen to the young people present, teach and form them in the Gospel, and ultimately send them towards their vocation and mission in the world.”
