The Annual Global Celebration of Youth and Young Adults – Established as an annual event by Saint John Paul II, World Youth Day reminds us that young people hold a vital place in the life and mission of the Church. Each year on Christ the King Sunday, dioceses around the world unite in prayer and celebration—connected spiritually to millions of youth and young adults journeying in faith across the globe.
Pope Leo XIV, will continue to celebrate youth and young adults on November 22, 2026, the Solemnity of Christ the King, which Pope Francis established in 2020, when he called for a renewal of the annual global celebration of young people in local Catholic communities which began with Pope John Paul II in 1986.

The theme of the 41st Global Celebration on Christ the King Sunday in Nov. 2026 and for the World Youth Day international event in Seoul, South Korea in Aug. 2027 is: “Take courage! I have overcome the world” (Jn 16:33). Read Pope Leo’s message: LINK.
