CWN Editor's Note: Pope Leo XIV has assigned the Dicastery for Laity, Family, and Life with responsibility for organizing the World Day of Children.
Pope Francis had established the World Day of Children, modeled after World Youth Day, and the first such event took place in March 2024. Pope Francis had set up a pontifical commission to guide the events; that responsibility now passes to the Dicastery for Laity.
