The Holy Father announces dates for 2027 World Youth Day in South Korea, after encourgaing youth on the last day of their Jubilee.

Pope Leo XIV presided over a final mass in Rome for over one million young people on Sunday, the culmination of a pilgrimage that has drawn Catholics from across the world. "Aspire to great things, to holiness, wherever you are. Do not settle for less," Pope Leo told the crowd.

The question of whether the pope has the capacity to connect with the crowds was largely put to rest this past week as Leo received an enthusiastic welcome from a million young people.
