WELCOME!
Everything we organize has just one purpose: get to know Jesus better, and follow him with others. That’s what makes a difference in the world, and it’s up to you.
“A young man cannot retire at the age of 20!

Don’t spend your life sitting on the couch, live life!”
WYD LISBON 2023
To prepare for the World Youth Day event (WYD) in Lisbon, the Chemin Neuf Community will gather 4,000 young people from 40 different countries at the Welcome to Paradise Festival in Portimão, on the south coast of Portugal.
This ‘à la carte’ festival aims to reach Christians of all sensibilities with a modern language that draws on the riches of the Christian tradition. Every day, there will be dozens of workshops with great speakers, sports and leisure activities, prayer programs to go deeper with God, as well as evening meetings altogether and opportunities to encounter others.
In short: a vacation in Paradise!
