WYD Seoul 2027 – FAM TOUR
September 7-13 2026
As the world prepares for World Youth Day Seoul 2027, effective planning begins long before the pilgrimage itself. WYD Canada, in the name of the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops, in collaboration with Spiritours, is organizing a FAM TOUR in South Korea in September 2026 to help delegation leaders in their preparation.
This FAM TOUR gives delegation leaders a unique opportunity to experience the host city first-hand, explore key sites, and understand the practical realities their young pilgrims will encounter. Through guided visits, cultural immersion, logistical orientation, and free time to explore the city at your own pace, this trip ensures your WYD journey is smooth, well-organized, and spiritually enriching.
