Prologue

Patron Saints of WYD

Each World Youth Day has its own Patron Saints.
They serve as spiritual companions, inviting the host Church
and young pilgrims alike to turn to them in prayer and to emulate their lives and faith.

Though from different eras and diverse walks of life,
each of them has shown, through the path of their own lives,
that a life rooted in Christ is a life of true fulfillment.
