26- NOV ––Mass of Christ the King

In local parishes

It is important for young people to belong to and be involved in a community. Therefore, the concluding Mass of WYD Montréal is celebrated in the parishes.  

Within the liturgy, parishes are encouraged to involve young people, to offer up their intentions and to give them a special blessing. Beyond the liturgy, parishes are encouraged to creatively celebrate the young people in their community.  

For young people who are unaffiliated, this Sunday Mass may allow them to find a parish that they can call home. 

In Montréal

WYD Montréal (WYD MTL) is an annual week-long diocesan celebration for the Archdiocese of Montreal that culminates at the Solemnity of Christ the King in late November.  

II. Empower young people to be protagonists

“I imagined the World Youth Days as a powerful moment in which the young people of the world could meet Christ, who is eternally young, and could learn from him how to be bearers of the Gospel to other young people.”

– St. John Paul II, WYD Toronto 2002
