JMJ 2026 : Nianing accueille le diocèse de Dakar les 22 et 23 mars

The Senegalese Catholic community will celebrate the 41st edition of the diocesan World Youth Days (WYD) on March 22 and 23, 2026 at the Epiphany of the Lord parish in Nianing, in the deanery of Popenguine.

This event, centered around the theme "Take courage, I have overcome the world", is a call to faith and brotherhood to encourage young people to face life's challenges with determination and hope.

On this occasion, the planned activities include liturgical celebrations, prayer vigils and a solemn mass which will be celebrated on Sunday by the Archbishop of Dakar, Monsignor André Guèye.

Diocesan World Youth Days aim to promote a living and committed faith among young people, create spaces for exchange and sharing between cultures and generations, and encourage the commitment of young people in their community and in the Church.

This year, more than 45,000 young people from the diocese of Dakar are expected in Nianing to celebrate their faith.

Initiated in 1984 by Pope John Paul II to bring together young Catholics from around the world, World Youth Day is organized every year in the various dioceses of Senegal and celebrated every five years at the national level.
