World Youth Day 2027
World Youth Day (WYD) 2027, a gathering of young Catholics from all over the world held every three to four years, will be held in Seoul, Korea from August 3 to 8 with Pope Leo. It is a pilgrimage, a celebration of youth, an expression of the universal Church and an intense moment of evangelization for the world.
