What is World Youth Day?

World Youth Day is a worldwide gathering of young Catholics with the Pope, started by Saint John Paul II in 1985. Every few years it takes place in a different city: a week of prayer, catechesis, music, culture and friendships that cross every border.

In 2027 it comes to Seoul, South Korea, on 3–8 August 2027. It is the second World Youth Day in Asia, after Manila in 1995, and a chance to meet the Church in Korea and young people from every continent.

This website is where our group registers, completes the application and follows payments for the pilgrimage.

“Take courage! I have overcome the world.”
