Minimum age for young Canadians attending WYD
In 1984, during the Holy Year of Redemption, Pope Saint John Paul II invited young people from around the world to join him in St. Peter’s Square on Palm Sunday. This event inspired what is now known as World Youth Day. Since 1986, there have been fifteen World Youth Days where young people gathered in countries around the world to meet with others to share faith, encounter Christ and reflect on the call to live as witnesses to a life of Christian virtue. Canada hosted WYD in 2002 in Toronto.
[…] The recommended minimum age for participation at WYD is 18 years old
