The Holy See Press Office on Tuesday, 6 June, released Pope Francis' schedule for the 2023 World Youth Day, to take place from 1 to 6 August 2023 in Lisbon, Portugal. In a video message released earlier this month, the Holy Father said that the desire of these young people to travel to the Portuguese capital later this year fills him with joy.
Pope Francis has presided over four World Youth Days, having previously done so in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 2013; Krakow, Poland, in 2016; and Panama City, Panama, in 2019. World Youth Day in Lisbon will be the 37th, and was originally scheduled to take place in the Portuguese capital in 2022, but was postponed due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
For this year's WYD's motto, Pope Francis has chosen a passage from Luke's Gospel:"Mary arose and went with haste" , which opens the account of the Visitation, when Mary visits her cousin Elizabeth following the angel’s announcement to the Blessed Mother that she would be the mother of the Son of God.The Pope will depart at 7.50 am on Wednesday 2 August from Rome's Fiumicino airport and arrive at 10 am at the Figo Maduro air base in Lisbon.
The Pope's return flight to Rome will leave at 6.15 p.m. and arrive at Fiumicino airport at 10.15 p.m.
