UCP is the Pilgrim Welcome Centre for WYD Lisbon 2023

The Universidade Católica Portuguesa is the Pilgrim Welcome Centre for World Youth Day Lisbon 2023, at its campus in Lisbon. Here pilgrims will check in and receive their kits from July 20 to August 6.

Pilgrims will be welcomed at this Centre, ensuring a quick integration into the organisation and spirit of World Youth Day. This space will also be the main point of reference in the city for all pilgrims who need a more personalised response to complex issues.

It is also to this Centre that central volunteers, priests and all pilgrims who have registered for WYD Lisbon 2023 without accommodation can go, individually or in groups, to check in, pick up their pilgrim or volunteer kit, and carry out their accreditation process, this being the first action they will have to take to participate in the event.

Pilgrims who have registered by selecting one of the package options with accommodation and parish volunteers will check-in at their host parishes and not at this Centre.

Opening hours of the Welcome Centre at Universidade Católica Portuguesa:

• July 20 from 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.
• July 21 to August 1 from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m.
• August 2 from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm
• August 3 from 11.00 a.m. to 7.00 p.m.
• August 4 from 9.00 a.m. to 10.00 p.m.
• August 5 from 9.00 a.m. to 7.00 p.m.

Support will be available in the five official languages of WYD Lisbon 2023 - Portuguese, English, Spanish, French and Italian.

 

Important note: from July 20 to 23 the Welcome Centre will only serve Central Volunteers.
