Rome is set to welcome over half a million young Catholics from 146 countries for the Jubilee of Youth, the largest event of the 2025 Holy Year, taking place from July 28 to August 3. The weeklong celebration will feature religious gatherings, vigils, and special access to the Holy Doors of the Papal Basilicas, with Pope Francis expected to play a central role.
Pilgrims from around the world—including large groups from Korea, Egypt, the U.S., and Africa—are traveling to Rome, while those unable to attend can participate via livestreams. The event is seen as a unique opportunity to foster hope, fraternity, and peace among young people in a world marked by conflict.
Extensive preparations are underway in Rome to ensure security, hospitality, and memorable experiences for all attendees.
