To ensure the successful preparations for the much-anticipated Papal Visit to Papua New Guinea (PNG), the Catholic Bishops Conference (CBC) has devised a comprehensive plan that is set to involve a significant number of approximately 7, 000 youths. With just four months remaining until the arrival of Pope Francis in September, the dedicated efforts in organizing this extraordinary event have already been set in motion. Anticipation is high as the event promises to attract a diverse array of attendees, not only from PNG, but also from neighboring regions such as the Solomon Islands, creating a truly global gathering. With the anticipated large turnout, the CBC has emphasized the crucial role that the youths will play in assisting with the smooth flow of the event, highlighting the need for marshals to help maintain order and manage the crowds effectively. “In all the dioceses in PNG, roughly 100 individuals from each diocese will attend, and most of these individuals will be young people.” “It is our desire for as many young people to come and be a part of this spiritual event.” Pope Francis’ visit is scheduled from September 6th – 9th, 2024.
