The 17th World Youth Day, 3–8 August 2027 — the first ever held in Korea. Jesus Youth Canada is taking a delegation, and this is everything you need to come with us.
Five days living with Korean host families in one of fifteen dioceses, before the crowds arrive. Alumni rank this above the main week.
Jul 29 – Aug 2 →Opening Mass, catechesis each morning in English, the Way of the Cross through the city, and the Youth Festival every afternoon.
Aug 3 – 6 →Walk to the site, then adoration in silence with close to a million people — and a night sleeping outdoors on the ground.
Aug 7 – 8 →3 August 2027, Seoul. Presided by the Archbishop of Seoul.
“Take courage! I have overcome the world.”
The last thing Christ says to his friends before the Passion. The logo is Korean brushstroke calligraphy: the strokes form a cross, and read 서울 — Seoul — at the same time.
Canada is wide, so the delegation departs in two streams and meets on the ground in Korea. Nobody is asked to buy a domestic flight just to reach the other coast.
Venues, martyr shrines, and the Seoul worth seeing on a free afternoon.

Ranges drawn from Seoul 2027 packages Canadian dioceses have already published — real figures, not guesses.
Where these numbers come from. $4,500–6,000 CAD all-in and roughly $4,000 land-only are the ranges Canadian dioceses have published for Seoul 2027. Within that, the official WYD pilgrim package itself is only USD 70–340 — airfare is the bulk of the cost. Figures may move with fuel surcharges, and no deposit is collected before you see the real total.
29–31 °C and 79% humidity. The details that decide whether the hard days are bearable.
