​Extensions

Option 1: DAYS IN THE DIOCESES

Picture
Before WYD ONLY
Spend the days before WYD with a local host parish. Pilgrims participate in spiritual, cultural, and service activities together with local parishioners. (Available before WYD only.) 
​

We will register your group with a local diocese, and cover the cost of DID registration (up to $50), which is separate from WYD registration and typically includes all meals and activities for the duration of DID. We will provide coach bus transportation from your arrival airport to your DID host parish and from your host parish to your WYD lodging. This price is based on participating at a parish within a 4-hour drive of Seoul. 

Many of our pilgrims remember Days in the Dioceses as their favorite part of World Youth Day!
