After departing by plane, they had a first experience on their way to WYD 2023, encountering a warm welcome and the great affection of the Community in Eiriz, Diocese of Porto, where they were welcomed by local families. They then had the opportunity to visit the Fatima Shrine, commenting on all the intentions, needs and gratitude of the people who "are in our lives...". They then set off for Lisbon to attend WYD 2023, marching to meet young people from all over the world who have heard the Pope's voice.
