The pope will head to Haemi Martyrdom Holy Ground in North Chungcheong Province to meet 60 Asian bishops who attended the Asia Youth Day, which kicked off on Aug. 13. He is expected to have lunch with them, the second official lunch of his visit. The pope had lunch with young Catholics attending the Asia Youth Day on Aug. 15.
The pope will then head to Haemieupseong Fortress, an old army post during the Joseon Dynasty where hundreds of Catholics died in persecution, to conduct a Mass that wraps up the five-day Asia Youth Day.
