The invitation

One million young pilgrims. One ancient road. One Seoul.

Every few years, the global Catholic Church gathers her young adults in a single city for World Youth Day. In August 2027, that city is Seoul — and Bon Secours Young Adults is bringing a delegation.

This isn't a tour package. It's a pilgrimage: a journey shaped by prayer, friendship, and the surprises God puts in your path.

What to expect

Eleven days. Three rhythms.

01

Arrival & cultural days

Land in Seoul. Adjust together. Visit Korean martyrs' shrines, palaces, and the city that's hosting us.

02

World Youth Day week

Catechesis with bishops, daily Mass, the Pope's vigil, and the unforgettable closing Mass with pilgrims from every nation.

03

Sending forth

A final day to reflect, debrief, and bring home what you've received before flying home together.

Spaces are limited. The road is calling.
