Carmelite Youth Day to be held during WYD 2023

We are only 71 days (1 August) away from the World Youth Day, the biggest gathering of Catholic young people. “Mary arose and went with haste” (Lk 1:39) is the theme. This year’s celebration will be held in Lisbon, the capital city of Portugal from August 1-6, 2023.

As part of the week’s celebration, a Carmelite Youth Day will be held on Wednesday, August 2.  This will be a time of celebration for youth from around the Order who are participating in World Youth Day. It is a great opportunity for our youth to meet other young people who are connected to the Carmelites as well as to experience prayer and learn something about world the various groups come from. The day is being jointly sponsored by the General Commissariat of Portugal and the Order’s international Youth Commission.

The Carmelite Youth Day will take place in our Carmelite Church of Santo António dos Cavaleiros which is located on Avenida Francisco Pinto Pacheco, 34, 2660-262 Santo António dos Cavaleiros, Loures, Lisbon.

Our prior general Míċeál O’Neill, councillor general for Europe Richard Byrne, the president of the Order’s International Youth Commission Robert Thomas Puthussery, and many other provincials, commissaries and other representatives of the Order will participate on this day. The Carmelite Youth Day will have time for sharing and interaction among Carmelite young people. There will be short video presentations from each group. A Eucharistic celebration will follow, presided by the prior general.

All are invited to participate. A general letter of invitation to participate was sent by the Commissary General of Portugal, Agostinho Castro O. Carm. Each Carmelite youth group is expected to register for this event through a Google form, available in four languages. Use the links below.
