The invitation
One million young pilgrims. One ancient road. One Seoul.
Every few years, the global Catholic Church gathers her young adults in a single city for World Youth Day. In August 2027, that city is Seoul — and Bon Secours Young Adults is bringing a delegation.
This isn't a tour package. It's a pilgrimage: a journey shaped by prayer, friendship, and the surprises God puts in your path.
