The Church will celebrate its first World Day of Children in May 2024, Pope Francis has announced. The Church’s first children’s day will be held in Rome and the Vatican is expecting thousands of girls and boys from all over the world to travel to Rome for the event with the Pope. According to Vatican News, the event was inspired by a 9-year-old boy named Alessandro, who proposed the idea to the Pope to have an international event like World Youth Day (an international gathering for young people ages 16 to 35) for younger children.
