National Youth Ministry Forum held in Brenna

The XXIII National Youth Ministry Forum took place in Brenna from October 21 to 24, 2026, gathering youth representatives, pastors, and bishops from various Polish dioceses. Under the theme ‘From Event to Community,’ the forum focused on how large-scale spiritual gatherings, such as World Youth Day in Seoul or the Taizé meeting in Łódź, can be leveraged to build lasting local faith communities and regular Christian formation.

During the event, Archbishop Andrzej Przybylski of Katowice participated in night adoration and presided over the Eucharist, emphasizing that pastoral renewal begins with personal conversion and a deepened relationship with God. The program included Taizé-style prayer sessions and discussions on creating supportive environments where young people can actively engage in Church life. The forum served as a platform for exchanging experiences between different dioceses to find practical solutions for youth ministry.
