Pope: Next World Youth Day will be in Seoul in 2027

RELIGIOUS NEWS AGENCY (REDNA) – Pope Francis, the world catholic leader, announced the next World Youth Day will be held in Asia, Seoul, South Korea in 2027.

According to AP the Pope told young people on Sunday the Catholic Church needs them and urged them to follow their dreams.

Wrapping up World Youth Day in Portugal with a massive open-air Mass, the Pope added the next edition would be held in Asia for the first time in three decades.

On Sunday, Francis urged the young people to follow their dreams and not be afraid of failing, reprising a theme that St. John Paul II frequently repeated during his quarter century of World Youth Days.
