Australian Catholic Youth Festival 2025

The Australian Catholic Youth Festival (ACYF) is a national gathering of Catholic young people established by the Australian Bishops more than ten years ago. This three day Festival provides young people from all across Australia with the opportunity to come together to connect, deepen their relationship with Jesus, be empowered to live their faith in the world and experience the breadth of the Church in Australia. The festival provides a wide range of activities for young people to engage in including discussions, prayer, plenaries, concerts, workshops, and much more. 

Our Lady of Mercy College is looking to send a group of Year 10 students to this year’s ACYF held in Melbourne from the 30 November to the 2 December. The cost of the event is $1645.00 per person, in which SCS will subsidise $800. Families will be required to pay $845. Please watch the invitational video for ACYF.

I encourage you to take this time to talk with your daughters regarding this opportunity and if you have any questions, please contact Mr Anderson at ian.anderson@syd.catholic.edu.au.

We look forward to providing this opportunity to your daughters and supporting them in their faith development.
