WORLD YOUTH DAY (WYD)
AUGUST 2027 - SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA
World Youth Day is a recurring international gathering of youth and youth adults for prayer, worship, and celebration of our Catholic faith with an opportunity to gather with the Pope. The purpose of WYD is to celebrate and highlight the importance of our youth, encourage pilgrimages, and to encounter Christ in our global Catholic community. In addition to attending World Youth Day festivities in Seoul, we plan on taking additional days to travel with our CTK/SS community and take opportunities to explore God's creation abroad.
