Pope Leo XIV invites young people to Seoul for WYD 2027

Catholic IntelligenceUpdated 1 min read

Pope Leo XIV has invited young people to register for the 2027 World Youth Day in Seoul, South Korea. In a video message released on October 22, 2026, the Pope described the event as a pilgrimage of faith, friendship, and hope rather than a simple visit to a new city.

He encouraged participants to use the gathering to encounter God more deeply and to connect with peers from diverse cultures. The Pope noted that despite linguistic and cultural differences, the event allows young people to experience unity.

The theme for the 2027 gathering is "Have courage: I have conquered the world." Organizers have officially opened registration for the event.
