The day was a true celebration of faith and community, filled with joy, connection, and thanksgiving.
The special day not only commemorates the Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe but is also an annual diocesan celebration, instigated by Pope Francis for World Youth Day around the world.
The event aims to celebrate and express gratitude for the great missionary work carried out daily by influencers and digital missionaries from the five continents, who transmit the Gospel through their social media platforms.
The answer to the question of who is at the heart of the Church is not Archbishop Tim or Pope Francis, or the Cardinals or anybody else,” Archbishop Costelloe said speaking to more than 800 people Sunday 20 November for the launch of World Youth Day 2023 on the Feast of Christ the King at St Mary’s Cathedral.
