World Youth Day is a multi-day global gathering where young Catholics come together with the Holy Father for prayer, formation, pilgrimage, and celebration.
For pilgrims not traveling with a private parish, school, or organization.
World Youth Day is more than an event. It’s a week of prayer, worship, and celebration alongside hundreds of thousands of young Catholics from around the world. In Seoul, you’ll encounter the universal Church, deepen your faith, and return home with friendships and memories that will last a lifetime.
Join pilgrims from around the world for Masses, catechesis, prayer, and celebrations led by the Holy Father.
World Youth Day is joyful, inspiring, crowded, and unlike any other pilgrimage. With firsthand experience in Korea and relationships with local churches, Verso handles the details so you can focus on what matters most: encountering Christ, the Church, and fellow pilgrims.
We’ve personally scouted the pilgrimage experience in Seoul, so your journey is designed with the realities of World Youth Day in mind, from navigating the city to making the most of each sacred site.
“I decided late in the game to come to World Youth Day, but John Paul immediately made a way for me to come and to join the young adult group. I’ve had such a great time, everything is very well organized.”
“My experience with Verso has been amazing. It’s such a relief having someone to guide you and walk you through all the different opportunities and sessions that are going on here. If it weren’t for Verso, I’d feel like I’d just be running around not knowing, being overwhelmed.”
“The joy that comes from traveling together to be with each other in Christ’s name is a beautiful encounter… The [Verso] team is well prepared and has great communication. We are well taken care of.”
