(ANS – Rio de Janeiro)– Over the next few days, no fewer than 257 Cardinals and Bishops, among them 13 Salesians, will give catechism lessons as part of the World Youth Day at Rio de Janeiro.
These catechism lessons, in different languages, are one of the most important parts of this world youth event. They will be held on 24, 25 and 26 July. The reflections given by the Bishops will help the young people to understand better the central theme of WYD 2013, inspired by the verse of St Matthew’s Gospel, “Go and make disciples of all nations!” (cf Mt 28,19).
The Bishops will give their teaching in the principal languages: Portuguese (112 Bishops), Spanish (52), English (24), Italian (15), French (15), German (8) and Polish(5); plus 26 Bishops in other languages. The youthful pilgrims will gather in Churches, halls and other places in Rio de Janeiro, which is the main centre, and in Niterói, Caxias, Iguaçú.
The following Salesian Bishops and Cardinals have been invited to participate in the Catechism lessons:
