Worshippers greet Pope Francis at the Stade des Martyrs in Kinshasa, DR-Congo, Thursday, Feb. 2, 2023. At least 500 young Congolese are expected in Lisbon this summer. Preparations for the World Youth Day were launched in the 48 dioceses of the Democratic Republic of Congo in July 2022 in order to promote strong participation from the youth. The theme of the meeting will be: Mary rose up and went with haste .
In the diocese of Butembo-Beni in eastern DRC, a region that has experienced a serious security crisis for the past 25 years, young people are counting on the Church to give them the opportunity to participate in WYD, which will open them up a bit more to the rest of the world. “Until then, we are continuing with awareness- raising and registrations that are tentatively being made,” he said. The participation fee is $2,500 , a sum that many young people cannot afford to pay. So, they rely on the dioceses and people of good will.
In Goma, the capital of the province of North Kivu, in eastern DRC, on the border with Rwanda, the youths’ motivation to go to WYD is very strong. The diocesan youth ministry of Goma is in the information and registration phase, which should be completed by the end of February.
