Augustinian Youth Encounter 2027
Augustinian Youth ages 16+ are invited to join us for a special Catholic youth gathering this summer in Seoul, South Korea.
What is the Augustinian Youth Encounter?
Augustinian Youth Encounters (AYEs) began in 1987 as an initiative by the Order of Saint Augustine to accompany youth who found growth in life & faith through Augustinian communities around the world. Since the first AYE in 1987, hosted at the Augustinian Monastery of Lecceto in Tuscany, Italy, AYE has invited young adults from the Augustinian Family around the world to gather in countries such as Spain, Ireland, Germany, Australia, England, Brazil, Czech Republic and Portugal.
