WORLD YOUTH DAY THEME 2008

World Youth Day in 2008 will be held in Sydney from July 15-20.

The theme for this WYD has been announced; it will be:

"You will receive power when the holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be my witnesses."

taken from the Acts of the Apostles (1:8).


World Youth Day 2006 & 2007 will be held at the diocesan level, unlike the 2008 event, in Australia, will be international.

In 2006, young people of the world will reflect on verse 105 of Psalm 119:
"Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light for my path."

The theme chosen for 2007 is from the Gospel, John 13:34: "Love one another, as
I have loved you."

I'm really glad they've got the Holy Spirit front and center for WYD 2008. It should be exciting. :-)
