One step, one prayer, one preparation at a time.
The journey to MAGIS Korea 2027 (25 July - 2 August 2026) doesn't begin with the flight—it begins today, in the small and faithful ways we prepare our hearts to encounter Christ, build friendships across cultures, and become instruments of hope and peace.
As MAGIS Pilipinas begins its preparations, we ask for your prayers for all the young people who will be part of this journey. May the Holy Spirit guide us as we walk together toward Korea with open hearts, ready to listen, serve, and be transformed.
Here's to living hope, igniting peace, and seeking the Magis in all things.
See you on the journey!
