Rome, May 25th-26th 2024
Fifty thousand faithful were present in St. Peter's Square for the Mass for the World Day dedicated to the little ones. On the day in which the Church remembers the Holy Trinity, Francis dialogues with them, remembering the love of the Father and "Jesus who forgives everything and always". Together with them he recites the Hail Mary, asks to pray for peace and announces the next Word Children's Day for September 2026.
On May 25th, the event will kick off at the Olympic Stadium with the greeting of foreign delegations, continuing with guests of national and international fame presented by Carlo Conti, leading up to the most anticipated moment: the dialogue of boys and girls with the Holy Father.
On May 26th, the event will move to St. Peter's Square for the introduction to the Eucharistic celebration and the celebration itself, presided over by the Holy Father, and will culminate with the Angelus and the Pope's greeting to children from around the world.
