WILLKOMMEN BEIM WETLJUGENDTAG This year Switzerland is having their annual World Youth Day in the town of Grenchen, Switzerland. March 27-29.
Pope John Paul II started World Youth Days (WYD) as an international encounter for youth. This has taken place every three years at different appointed locations around the world. Sometimes it has been only 2 years since the last one, other times 3 years. BUT....but... (pay attention!) the Pope ALSO asked each individual country/Archdiocese to host their own local/national "Youth Day" in the same spirit as the international sensation that his World Youth Day (WYD) has become. Some years there has been 1 million youth at the international WYD where Other cities have drawn 8 million people. ALL TO SEE THE POPE! He would meet and speak and celebrate Mass with the pilgrim youth as well as having other events full of faith, fun and inspiration. United in life, faith, and a desire for hope... people continue to gather to WORLD YOUTH DAYs and they come from all walks of life, culture, faith and languages.
Switzerland is flexing their muscles and doing just what the Holy Father ordered. (I wish other places would do this! Hello... USA.... come on !) It is my honor and privilege to be invited this year at Switzerland's national Youth Day. COME ONE...COME ALL!
