Pope Leo XIV invites youth to Seoul for World Youth Day 2027

Catholic IntelligenceUpdated 1 min read

Pope Leo XIV has invited young people to register for the 41st World Youth Day, scheduled for August 3–8, 2027, in Seoul, South Korea. In a video message released on the feast of St. John Paul II, the pope described the event as a pilgrimage of faith, friendship, and hope rather than a sightseeing trip.

The pope encouraged participants to bring their dreams, desires, and hopes, as well as their wounds and difficulties, to the gathering. He noted that meeting peers from diverse languages and cultures would allow youth to experience a greater sense of unity as members of the body of Christ.

Registration for the event is now open. According to the World Youth Day 2027 website, the deadline to register for packages that include lodging is May 31, 2027. Registration for packages without lodging remains available after that date.
