XII Plenary

Organizers of World Youth Day (WYD) Seoul 2027 assured Church leaders from across Asia that preparations for the global gathering are focused not only on logistics but also on providing young pilgrims with a safe, welcoming, and spiritually enriching experience.

Fr. Prakash said the Church must "give women their rightful place and curb every form of patriarchy."

"As a Church community, we are mostly a minority in the diverse realities of society in Asia," Cardinal Kikuchi said.
