Bishop Robert Barron, who serves as chairman of the Bishops’ Committee on Laity, Marriage, Family Life and Youth and will be traveling to Lisbon along with 60 other U.S. bishops, said in a statement that “our country is very much looking forward to this pilgrimage.”According to Bishop Barron, the event “is a wonderful occasion for young adults to have a significant encounter with Jesus Christ in the company of the universal Church.
U.S. pilgrims will be staying in parishes, campuses, homes, and hotels around Lisbon during the week of WYD, taking part in prayer and liturgies, daily catechesis, concerts, presentations, dialogue, service, and networking with young adults from around the world. More than 35 bishops from the U.S. will also serve as lead bishops for the daily catechetical sessions called “Rise Up!”.
