Hundreds of thousands of young people from 146 countries, including those in war zones, are expected in Rome for the Jubilee of Youth (July 28-August 3). Archbishop Rino Fisichella described it as the year's most anticipated event, emphasizing its global embrace of youth. The week includes events across Rome, a penitential day, and a closing Mass with Pope Leo XIV at Tor Vergata, the same location as World Youth Day 2000. Organizers have prepared extensively for the large crowds, including accommodation, food, and confession services.
