Pope Leo XIV has captured global attention by making surprise appearances and delivering inspiring messages to more than half a million young Catholics gathered in Rome for the Vatican's Jubilee of Youth.
The event, running through early August, draws participants from over 140 countries for a week of prayer, pilgrimage, and celebration. The Pope has urged young people to be missionaries and share the Good News, emphasizing faith, hope, and unity in a world facing conflict and uncertainty. The Jubilee is seen as a major opportunity for the Catholic Church to engage with Gen Z and foster a sense of global fraternity.
Rome has prepared extensively for the influx, highlighting the event's significance for both the Church and the city.
