One Million Young People Are Expected in Rome for the Youth Jubilee: Here’s the Detailed Program

From Monday, July 28, to August 3, 2025, the Youth Jubilee will be celebrated, the most anti-cipated and attended Jubilee event of the Holy Year 2025, with the arrival in Rome of hundreds of thousands of young people from 246 countries. Specifically, appro-ximately one million pilgrims are expected to attend the Prayer Vigil with Pope Leo XIV at Tor Ver-gata, Rome, on Saturday, August 2. This number will increase with the Holy Mass on Sunday, August 3, at 9:00 AM, presided over by the Holy Father at Tor Vergata, Rome.
Approximately 370 parishes, 400 schools, and 40 extra-curri-cular spaces, including Civil Pro-tection Centres, municipal sports centres, and gymnasiums, have been set up to welcome the young pilgrims. Fiera Roma [Rome Fair] will host 25,000 young people and offer its facilities to ensure a safe and comfortable stay. Thanks to the operational support of the National Department of Civil Protection, the facilities will be-come a true “city within a city,” with medical facilities and ser-vices available 24 hours a day. This organizational structure demonstrates the collective commitment to offering young pilgrims not only a place to sleep, but also a true community experi-ence, lived in complete safety.
