Seoul selected to host 2027 World Youth Day

가톨릭 '세계청년대회' 서울 개최 프란치스코 교황 참석
Seoul has been chosen to host a global Catholic Church event for young people, World Youth Day, in 2027.
Up to a million people are expected to attend the event, with the Pope himself also set to visit.
Lee Seung-jae reports.
At the closing mass for the 2023 World Youth Day in Lisbon, Portugal, Pope Francis announced the host city for the next World Youth Day.
"The next World Youth Day will take place in Asia, it will be in South Korea, in Seoul."
The World Youth Day brings together young people from around the world in celebration of their Catholic faith.
The massive event runs for five or six days, with the reigning pope also in attendance.
Seoul will become the first Asian city to host the event since Manila in 1995, where over 5 million people attended the event's closing mass.
Seoul archdiocese estimates that around 700-thousand to a million Catholics will be in attendance for the Seoul World Youth Day, with 300 thousand traveling to South Korea.
"Since in the past three years we have undergone a COVID situation in Korea, sadly the number of people going to church in Korea has declined, and we sincerely hope that throughout preparations and also during World Youth Day, it will be a great opportunity to develop and mature our youth ministry. So that’s what I am hoping for as our journey begins for the preparation for World Youth Day.”
The announcement comes as Cardinal Andrew Yeom Soo-jung and Archbishop Peter Chung Soon-taick of the Seoul archdiocese traveled to Lisbon last Monday to make a pitch for Seoul.
Cardinal Lazzaro You Heung-sik, prefect of the Congregation for the Clergy of the Holy See, and Oh Hyun-joo, the South Korean ambassador to the Holy See also took part in the pitch.
The event is also expected to provide a massive boost to the local economy.
The Lisbon World Youth Day is expected to have been worth about 622 million U.S. Dollars.

After the failure of the Scouts Jamboree i think this is a very bad move to allow Korea to host this.

[@amielrelox]

This will be in 2027. I bet Korea will be more Catholic then and better. Praying for all Scouts there now.

[@kenkenx110]

❤️🤍🇵🇭

[@KnightGeneral]

Not even what happened at the Jamboree can stop the WYD coming to S.Korea.

[@gwenmloveskpopandmore]

This will be in 2027 and much different

[@maryocecilyo3372]

[@thomasmaibaum7665]

Help them organize it so it won’t be like the jamboree

[@gwenmloveskpopandmore]

It won’t happen til 2027

[@rizkysaragih7875]

​@@gwenmloveskpopandmoreyou know that the jamboree had 6 years preparation time, and they still messed up, right?

[@gwenmloveskpopandmore]

@@rizkysaragih7875 yep

[@LovinglyYourz]

wow nice

I love you all, but please receive Jesus on the tongue in Holy Communion. The practice of receiving Jesus on the hand was started by a heretical bishop in Holland. Let us show reverence to the one and only Lord!

[@vernicejillmagsino9603]

The world youth day 2027 is not lead by Francis is leader by the next (either Tagle, Erdo, Parolin, but for me Odilo Scherer of Brazil)

[@lgbtaresins]

Haha there would be grace 👍

[@JohnPiercePaguia-dy2uv]

Oh what happened to the church of god wmsc there,

[@jeoida8669]

Well, i bet it will be like the Jamboree.. 6 years preparations but fail miserabily

[@HodgePodgeVids1]

Nah. World Youth Day has always been a success.

[@TruthTeller-ji7cl]

Another upcoming disaster after the scout camping

Why so cynical. Lighten up
