Catholic Apostolate Center Collaborates with USCCB and Archdiocese of Washington on World Youth Day 2016 Celebrations
WASHINGTON, DC - The Catholic Apostolate Center is pleased to announce that it will be collaborating with both the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) World Youth Day Office and the Archdiocese of Washington on World Youth Day celebrations both here and abroad. This year, youth and young adults, ages 16 to 35, from around the world will gather to be a witness to our shared Catholic faith in Krakow, Poland, at the international celebration of World Youth Day 2016 (July 26-31). Here, in the United States, numerous stateside celebrations are being held in conjunction with the events in Krakow.
The Catholic Apostolate Center has launched a new web portal at: www.WYD2016.us which will feature formation resources and guides to the World Youth Day events in Krakow and in the United States.
These resources include:
These resources include:
- Guides for leaders for the international pilgrimage, and for the first time ever, a stateside guide for leaders. These guides are published by the USCCB and hosted by the Center in e-book format online. Center Director, Fr. Frank Donio, S.A.C., contributed to the creation of each of these guides.
- A blog series entitled #WYDWednesdays which will feature weekly posts designed to help prepare the faithful for the stateside and international events associated with World Youth Day. These posts will be written by bishops, pastoral leaders, and young adults from around the U.S.
- Catechetical and spiritual formation resources for pilgrims before, during, and after the World Youth Day experience.
