World Youth Day Seoul 2027 should be an encounter that helps young people discover that they are loved by God and welcomed by the Church, rather than simply an event centered on information or instruction, church leaders said at the conclusion of an international preparatory meeting in Korea.
The next World Youth Day (WYD) will mark a historic milestone for the Catholic Church when it is held in Seoul, South Korea, from August 3 to 8, 2027, the first time this global gathering of Catholic youth will take place in a non-Christian country.
