The program includes several days of celebration with Pope Francis, liturgies, concerts, and workshops. The event culminates in an all-night vigil and Mass with Pope Francis. Participants will have an opportunity to meet and interact with young people from all over the world.
The Diocese of Kerry is presently recruiting a group of young adults (18 – 35 years) who will participate in the event. They will travel to Krakow on Monday, 25th July 2016 and return on Monday, 1st August 2016. While in Krakow they will stay at the Jagiellonian University in Krakow.
