WYD Seoul 2027 x September Pilgrimage
“Pilgrims of Hope” - Jubilee Year Special Program

United in Love Pilgrimage
Mass Commemorating the Korean Martyrs with Young Pilgrims

A journey of hope toward the 2027 World Youth Day in Seoul!
Our steps make a pilgrimage- a journey of faith with each stamp!

"WYD is a journey that bears witness to faith and truth.
The Church in Korea began with the martyrdom of countless believers who shed their blood, sweat, and tears for the faith and we are blessed to have 103 canonized martyrs, 124 blesseds, one venerable, and over 200 servants of God.
The Seoul Catholic Pilgrimage Route faithfully preserves the traces of these holy witnesses."

In celebration of the 2025 Jubilee Year, we will walk the Seoul Catholic Pilgrimage Route, recalling the faith and courage of the martyrs.
We warmly invite you to this special journey of joy shared with young people!
