Knights of Columbus is a sponsor of World Youth Day Krakow 2016’s premier English-language pilgrimage site. Pilgrims are invited to join the Knights for youth festivals, catechesis and evangelization. Before the event, we are leading a pilgrimage for college Knights, who will enjoy fellowship in a retreat setting while visiting historic and holy sites in Poland. College Knights will then participate in the official Krakow 2016 program.
World Youth Day is an international event started by Saint John Paul II in 1985, celebrated annually at the diocesan level and every two to three years in a major city with millions of youth and young adults, who come to be with the Holy Father and to celebrate the Catholic faith.
