November 19th-21st
The global Catholic Church calls this annual celebration “World Youth Day” to remind people that every year is an opportunity to celebrate and accompany young people. However, because the term “World Youth Day” is often associated with the major international event that has taken place every two or three years since 1985 (and due to the aforementioned notes about terms related to young people), we refer to the Christ the King Sunday experience as the “Annual Celebration of Youth and Young Adults.”
All young people must feel that they are cared for by the Church. Therefore, may the entire Church on a worldwide level, in union with the Successor of Peter, be more and more committed to young people, to their concerns and worries and to their aspirations and hopes, so as to meet their expectations by communicating the certainty that is Christ, the Truth that is Christ, the love that is Christ.
Though the exact date of this universal celebration has shifted over the years, its current placement on Christ the King Sunday is an opportune time to “make all our institutions better equipped to be more welcoming to young people” (CV 216) and to “make the most of the great moments of the liturgical year” (CV 224) to help them experience the Catholic faith in joyful and engaging ways.
In short, the annual occasion should be:
1. A festival of faith.
2. An experience of the Church.
3. A missionary experience.
4. An opportunity for vocational discernment and a call to holiness.
5. An experience of pilgrimage.
6. An experience of universal fraternity
