Please use this page to help our family of ten to go to the World Youth Day in Portugal 2023.

Parents Francis and Catherine and eight children Grace, Thomas, Teresa, Caleb, Peter, Paul, Simon and Margaret are raising money to attend World Youth Day in Lisbon in 2023.

As well as giving us the opportunity to represent our community, the World Youth Day is an incredible way to get closer to God, and to meet likeminded young people from around the world.

Any donations would be tremendously appreciated.

World Youth Day is an international meeting of Christians from around the whole world. It began in 1985, during the UN year of the youth, when St. Pope John Paul II welcomed young people from all corners of the Earth to come to Rome to celebrate Mass. It has been going on every 3 years since. With an emphasis on the eternal youth of Christ, World Youth Day brings together the young adults of the Worldwide Church in holy celebration on a scale almost unprecedented. Donate Now!
