Schoenstatt Youth at World Youth Day Seoul 2027

"Take heart! I have overcome the world" (John 16:33) Schönstatt Youth at WYD in Seoul 2027 Travel dates: 24.07. - 09.08.2027* Program Overview This is World Youth Day: Hundreds of thousands of young Christians from all over the world celebrating their faith together, placing Christ at the center, experiencing culture and the universal church, and making many new friendships. Young people from all over the world travel to Korea and are accommodated in host families or community housing. The focus is on togetherness. The young people get to know the culture and faith traditions of Korea together. The experience of a community sustained by faith in Jesus Christ is one of the most beautiful fruits of participating in World Youth Days! • Experience Pope Leo XIV up close, celebrate and pray with him • Discover the universal church: Immerse yourself in the large, international community of the Catholic Church • Find friends from all over the world – experience Jesus' love • Catecheses: hear the word of God and reflect on it with others or alone • Joint social projects, services, prayers, discussions or concerts. Without community, we cannot live our faith! Our pre-program summarized: Before the days of encounter and the actual WYD in Seoul, an eventful tour of South Korea is first on the program: You will gain insights into everyday life in the countryside, undertake spectacular hikes in Seoraksan National Park, snorkel in turquoise blue water, explore the historical treasures of Gyeongju by bike, enjoy beach life on the east coast beaches, and experience the futuristic "Space Walk" of Pohang, Buddhist temples and lively street food markets. *Note: Depending on flight capacities, the return flight to Germany may not take place until 10.08.2027. The group would then have an additional night in the World Youth Day accommodation and a free day in Seoul. Preliminary program! Subject to change!
