Next World Youth Day in Krakow in 2016

POPE Francis has announced the next World Youth Day (WYD) will be held in the Polish city of Krakow in 2016.

"Dear young friends, we have an appointment for the next World Youth Day in 2016 in Krakow, Poland," he said at the end of Sunday's mass attended by three million pilgrims on Rio's Copacabana beach.

Argentine-born Francis was wrapping up a week-long visit to Brazil, the world's most populous Catholic country, on his first overseas trip since his election in March.

The choice of Krakow is in honour of John Paul II, who hailed from Krakow and who started the World Youth Day (WYD) events during his charismatic papacy.

John Paul II, who is expected to be declared a saint later this year, was archbishop of Krakow before he was elected the world's first Polish pope in 1978.

The first official WYD was held in 1986, although it had been preceded by two previous mass gatherings of young people from around the world in Rome.

The next was held the following year in the Argentine capital Buenos Aires, where Francis was archbishop before he became Pope
