ECYD
OUR ENCOUNTER BEGINS ON
DECEMBER 29, 2019ROME, ITALY

WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT

At the core of the International Encounter of ECYD Team Leaders is the desire to forge in the hearts of every participant a renewed love for who they are as apostles and for who they represent, Jesus Christ. That is why the theme for the encounter is “Be His Apostle!“.

This desire will hopefully become a reality through this unique international and profound ECYD experience lived through the heart of team leaders from around the globe and from different walks of life. Hence the gospel phrase, “Go and make disciples of all nations” (Mt. 28:19).

It is a weeklong encounter centered around a deep experience of friendship with Christ and among themselves. This encounter has been planned with many dynamic activities that encompass the essential elements of ECYD life, but through the perspective of a team leader: prayer, formation, team life, accompaniment, and apostolate.

All of this and more will take place right at the heart of the Catholic Church in Rome, Italy!

WHO'S INVITED

Any ECYD team leader from around the world who is at least 16 years old
and has been a team leader for at least one year.
It is highly suggested that the team leader participates through an organized group based on the city or country where they are coming from. Contact your local ECYD director for more information.

“We can ask: What keeps us united? Why are we united? What prompts us to encounter each other? The certainty of knowing that we have been loved with a profound love that we neither can nor want to keep quiet about a love that challenges us to respond in the same way: with love.

It is the love of Christ that urges us on.”

– Pope Francis, Opening Speech at the 2019 World Youth Day in Panama
