World Youth Day 2008
This took place in Sydney, Australia, attracting 223,000 pilgrims from 170 countries all around the world
More than just a youth festival, World Youth Day (WYD) is a call to solidarity where faith and justice met.
So what happens now that we’re all back at home? Keep the WYD feeling going by getting more involved with CAFOD.
Take a look at the ideas below and see what you can do to make sure you keep the world in your everyday, not just in World Youth Day.
If you have any questions about how we can support your WYD follow-up, please get in touch on youth@cafod.org.uk
