The “boom that occurred in the ’80s and ’90s, when there were hundreds of people baptized in each church” has subsided, just as “the number of children, adolescents, and young people who attend Mass” has decreased, the missionary told ACI Prensa. However, he sees that being designated the site of the next WYD is an opportunity “to spread faith in Christ” and confirm the Catholic communities in Asia in their faith.
In Seoul, she remarked, “there’s a lot of traffic, a lot of people, a lot of workers.” So, “how can [the young pilgrims] easily get around in the city?” she wondered.
