Catholic World Youth Day set in Panama

Monday, January 23, 2017


Archbishop José Domingo Ulloa Mendieta of Panama officially announced the dates of the next Roman Catholic World Youth Day, which is set to take place in January, rather than July as is usual, due to the weather.

He made the announcement during a news conference in the country's capital, Panama City, during which he also reiterated the gratitude of the Panamanian Church to Pope Francis for choosing Panama to host WYD in 2019.
