World Youth Day Sydney 2008
World Youth Day (WYD) is the largest youth event in the world and will be held in Sydney from Tuesday July 15 to Sunday July 20 2008.
WYD brings together young people from
around the globe to celebrate and learn about their faith on a more
regular basis. The event will be the largest event Australia has ever hosted, and will
attract over 125,000 international visitors - more than the 2000
Olympics. WYD08 will also mark the first visit of His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI to Australia.
Through the WYD08 experience, young people from throughout the world
will make a pilgrimage in faith, meet, and experience the love of God.
World Youth Day is an invitation from the Pope to the youth of the
world to celebrate their faith around a particular theme.
