Celebrating World Youth Day in the United States

Inform the Parish

Advertise and promote World Youth Day by placing bulletin announcements detailing the various activities and events that will occur before, during, and after World Youth day. Sample bulletin announcements can be found in Celebrating World Youth Day 2011.

Involve the Parish

Use special prayer cards to place in the pews on World Youth Sunday. You can order prayer cards with the Living and Loving Our Catholic Faith prayer or make up your own. Consider placing a different youth’s name from the community at the bottom or on the back of each one and ask the parishioners to keep each of these young people in prayer throughout the year.
