Kraków hosts organizers of 2019 World Youth Days in Panama

They want to make use of the experience gained by Poles in organizing a gathering of over one million people from around the world.

The group from Panama, led by Archbishop Jose Domingo Ulloa, are holding a series of meetings with the people who were responsible for logistics, the work of volunteers, the registration of pilgrims and the organization of Masses in Kraków.

World Youth Days with Pope Francis were held in Kraków in July 2016.

On 9 April, Palm Sunday, during a Mass celebrated by the pope in the Vatican, representatives of the Kraków organizing team will hand over the symbols of the World Youth Days to a delegation from Panama.

Panama will host the event in the second half of January 2019. (mk/pk)
