JMJ 2027: «Organizar uma Jornada é difícil, mas viver depois da Jornada pode ser ainda mais exigente», afirma D. Américo Aguiar

In brief

Cardinal Américo Aguiar said that the period following a World Youth Day event may be even more demanding than the organization of the event itself. Speaking at the second preparatory meeting for the 2027 World Youth Day, the cardinal discussed the impact of the 2023 Lisbon event on youth ministry.

Aguiar noted that the most difficult phase begins after the conclusion of the gathering. He shared his experiences regarding the journey of the Lisbon event and how it affects pastoral communities.
