Diocesan World Youth Day 2024 Registration

The Youth and Young Adult Ministries of the Archdiocese of Winnipeg & St. Boniface are coming together to celebrate Diocesan World Youth Day.

This will be a celebration of our faith and our calling to be witnesses of God’s love as young people today.

Diocesan World Youth Day is a celebration of young people that takes place annually on the Solemnity of Christ the King, which will be on Sunday, November 24, 2024. This local celebration brings the opportunity to experience a festival of faith.
