VENITE is a network of young adult communities spread throughout the Diocese of Joliet. Together, they are building a far-reaching network of peers that are seeking to follow Christ and create opportunities and spaces where we are free to fellowship with one another and encourage, help and support each other in our respective faith journeys and lives.

World Youth Day (WYD) is a worldwide encounter with the Pope celebrated every three years in a different country.
WYD is open to all young people who want to take part in a festive encounter centered on Jesus Christ together with their peers. This event is an opportunity to personally experience the universality of the Catholic Church, and to share with the whole world the hope of many young people who are committing their lives to Christ and His Church. World Youth Day is a unique way to deepen your faith and grow closer to Christ, through prayer and the sacraments, together with hundreds of thousands of other young people who share your interests and ambitions.
Join the Diocese of Joliet on a pilgrimage to celebrate World Youth Day is Lisbon, Portugal from July 29 - August 7, 2023 (optional pre-tour to Madrid from July 25 - 29). Please click here for more information.
