World Youth Day - ArchEdmonton

12/22/2022

Hey everyone! In line with Pope Francis’ call for World Youth Days to not just be an international experience but something experienced in the Local Church, a few of us have been tasked by the Alberta Bishops to work towards making a Local expression of WYD happen.
We want to make sure that the festival is tailored to the interests and needs of young adults, so we're asking for your help. Please take a few minutes to fill out this survey and let us know what you would like to see at the festival. Your input is valuable and will help shape the future of World Youth Days in Alberta. Thank you for your participation.

This summer, an exciting possibility is in the planning stages for a multi-day “Festival of Faith” event to be held in Alberta. The planning for this event is just getting started and we need information from you, the potential delegates before we proceed with moving forward with the registratio...

535 days to go and here’s the Official Prayer to pass the time:

Our Lady of the Visitation,
you who arose and went with haste towards the mountain to meet Elizabeth,
lead us also to meet all those who await us
to deliver them the living Gospel:
Jesus Christ, your Son and our Lord!
We will go in a hurry, with no distraction or delay,
but with readiness and joy.
We will go peacefully, because those who take Christ take peace,
and welldoing is the best wellbeing.
Our Lady of the Visitation,
with your inspiration, this World Youth Day
will be the mutual celebration of the Christ we take, as You once did.
Make it a time of testimony and sharing,
fraternization, and giving thanks,
each of us looking for the others who always wait.
With you, we will continue on this path of gathering,
so that our world will gather as well,
in fraternity, justice and peace.
Help us,
Our Lady of the Visitation,
to bring Christ to everyone, obeying the Father, in the love of the Spirit!
