Pope Leo XIV invites 2027 World Youth Day participants

Catholic IntelligenceUpdated 1 min read

Pope Leo XIV has invited young people to attend the 2027 World Youth Day in Seoul, marking the opening of registrations for the event. In a video message, the pope described the gathering as a pilgrimage of faith, friendship, and hope rather than a simple visit to a new city.

The theme for the 2027 World Youth Day is "Have courage: I have conquered the world," taken from John 16:33. The pope noted that the timing of the registration opening coincides with the liturgical memorial of Saint John Paul II.

The pope said the event will allow young people from diverse cultures and languages to experience unity. He encouraged participants to bring their dreams, hopes, and struggles to the pilgrimage to encounter God more deeply.
