The Pope invites young people from all over the world to attend and celebrate together at World Youth Day (WYD). WYD is six days of fun, prayer, catechetical sessions, informal gatherings, and festival events plus a vigil and concluding mass with the Pope. This gathering is held every three years at an international location.
The next WYD will take place in Seoul, South Korea, in 2027 - August 3rd to 8th.
This will be the first time World Youth Day is held in East Asia, and it’s expected to welcome hundreds of thousands of young Catholics from every continent. The event is open to all young people, regardless of background, who are interested in exploring faith, community, and global solidarity.
The Diocese of Cleveland is planning a special pilgrimage for young adults over the age of 18 and we would love for you to join us! To learn more about the pilgrimage taking place August 1st to August 10th, 2027, please click here for more information.
The deadline to register is June 20th, 2026.
