Alaska preparations have already begun for the next international World Youth Day, which will take place in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in July 2013.

Themed “Go and make disciples of all nations” this will be the first WYD in South America since the first international gathering in Buenos Aires, Argentina in 1987.

Bob McMorrow, youth director at St. Benedict’s Catholic Church in Anchorage, will lead Alaskans of the upcoming pilgrimage. This will be McMorrow’s ninth WYD. He is especially excited about this one because of the rich Catholic culture in South America.
