World Youth Day pilgrims from the Archdiocese of Cebu and the dioceses of Antipolo and Pasig arrive in Lisbon, Portugal on July 25.A Catholic official estimated not fewer than 1,500 Filipino pilgrims are projected to travel to Portugal for this year’s World Youth Day, the largest gathering of young Catholics from around the world.
Filipino delegates have started arriving in the European nation this week for the “Days in the Dioceses,” a preparatory journey for the pilgrims and the host community to experience the days around WYD. A bulk of the Philippine delegation will be coming from different dioceses, religious congregation, and lay church organizations.
Established by Pope John Paul II in 1985, the weeklong WYD celebrations usually attract hundreds of thousands of young people from across the globe. Caermare presided over a Mass with the “IP youth representatives” at the San Lorenzo Catholic Student Center in Manila last Sunday.
