ACYF returns to Melbourne at the end of 2025!

Capping off a rich program of Jubilee events in our Archdiocese this 2025 Jubilee Year, the Australian Catholic Youth Festival is and fun and faith-filled national festival. It provides young people from Year 9 to 25 years old with the opportunity to come together, connect, deepen their relationship with Jesus, be empowered to live their faith in the world and experience the breadth of the Church in Australia.

Join in and celebrate with over 10,000 young people!

More information about the festival is available on the official ACYF website.

There is plenty of opportunity for everyone to attend or support the festival.

How to get involved

Get a group together and prepare

Resources and events to help leaders from across the Archdiocese gather and form groups of young people to take part in, and prepare for the festival, will be available here in May.

Register to attend

Group registrations open in May. To register go to: acyf.org.au/registration

Sponsor a young person to attend

Not everyone who would like to attend ACYF can afford to. Help as many young Catholics from our Archdiocese as possible to attend by donating to the ACYF Melbourne Solidarity Fund. More about sponsorship opportunities will be available on this page closer to the time of the festival.

Volunteer your time and expertise
