Your next Marist journey goes global.
Marist Youth Ministry is seeking expressions of interest for participation in the International Marist Youth Meeting 2027, held in Seoul, South Korea, immediately before World Youth Day 2027.
Becoming
Home.
“Becoming Home” invites us to create communities in which everyone experiences belonging, acceptance and purpose. It calls us not only to find a place where we belong, but to become builders of welcoming spaces where relationships are strengthened, spirituality is nurtured and each person can discover their identity and purpose.
One pilgrimage.
Two global gatherings.
Begin in Marist community before stepping into the extraordinary experience of World Youth Day in Seoul.
International Marist Youth Meeting
Gather with young Marists from around the world for formation, reflection, intercultural dialogue and community as we explore what it means to “Become Home” for one another.
World Youth Day Pilgrimage
Continue into Seoul for pilgrimage, prayer, celebration and an encounter with the universal Church alongside young people from across the world.
“I have overcome the world.”
