Dominican Youth at WYD 2023

Celebrating WYD2023 from August 1-6 in Lisbon, is an opportunity to gather the Dominican Youth and the Dominican Family of Portugal from August 6 (evening) to August 8 (noon), at the “Externato São José” of the Congregation of Dominican Sisters of St. Catherine of Siena in Lisbon.

The IDYM Commission invites all the members of the IDYM in each of the 34 countries where it is present, so that with the respective councils, they can evaluate and articulate the participation in WYD2023, through the parishes and the Episcopal Conferences, so that they can know who will attend and establish lines of communication to join this world meeting of Dominican Youth in communion and participation of IDYM, in its 30 years of foundation (1993-2023), and the centenary of the entry of Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati in the Order of Preachers.
