This week young people from around the world are gathered in Madrid for World Youth Day. Since 1984, they’ve been gathering together with the Holy Father in celebration of our Faith. This week on S+L Radio we remember the first 24 years of World Youth Day and what better way to do that, but through music. Can you name the titles of all the theme songs for the past 10 International World Youth Days? Remember Emmanuel from Rome 2000 or We Are One Body from Denver 1993? Tune in and listen to all theme songs, remember WYDs and learn a bit about the magic of WYD with us!
