  World Youth Day - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
World Youth Day (WYD) is an annual gathering of Catholic young people, created by Pope John Paul II in 1984 "to consolidate the ordinary youth ministry by offering new encouragement for commitment, objectives which foster ever greater involvement and participation" (Letter from Pope John Paul II - Seminar on WYD 1996).
Gathering together: World Youth Day is a coming together of young people from all over the world and a strong reminder of the strength and confidence the young bring to the Catholic Church today.
Putting trust in the young: World Youth Day is not simply a gathering for the young people of the world, but a time to put trust in the world's youth.
