WYD

The logo and theme for the upcoming World Youth Day in 2027, set to be held in Seoul, South Korea, were revealed by the Holy See Press Office.

Filipino priest John Dave Francis Pineda, 31, director of the diocesan youth commission of the Apostolic Vicariate of Calapan (AVC) says it was a very fulfilling experience to had accompanied those whose visa were reconsidered for the World Youth Day (WDY) 2023 in Lisbon, Portugal.

Pope St. John Paul II and Blessed Carlo Acutis will be among the patrons of World Youth Day 2023 in Lisbon.

Pope Francis wants the forthcoming 28th World Youth Day (WYD) in Lisbon 2023 to be a creative event with life and strength.

The idea comes from the Ramón Pané Foundation: a competition for groups from any country in the world who wish to present a choreography inspired by the song "Jesus says to me: 'Get up!'", a song that will animate the diocesan World Youth Day on 21 November. Registration expires on Sunday 14 November and the winners will be awarded free participation at the Lisbon 2023 events.
