St. Charles Young Adult Ministry

Join young adults from the Diocese of Fort Wayne-South Bend for World Youth Day 2027 in Seoul. This once-in-a-generation pilgrimage gathers young people from every nation with Pope Leo XIV for prayer, worship, friendship, and unforgettable encounters with Christ.

Theme for WYD 2027: “Take Courage! I have overcome the world.” (Jn 16:33)

Why Seoul? South Korea is home to one of the most remarkable stories in Church history—the Catholic faith took root there through laypeople before missionaries ever arrived. Today, it remains a vibrant and growing witness to the Gospel.

This is more than a trip. It’s a pilgrimage that can change your life.

Young adults of our diocese: prayerfully consider coming with us!
