Australian Catholic Youth Festival – An Invitation to Faith and Fellowship
This year, our students have the incredible opportunity to be part of the Australian Catholic Youth Festival (ACYF), a three-day celebration of faith, community, and inspiration. From 30 November to 2 December 2025, thousands of young people from across the country will gather to grow in their relationship with Jesus, deepen their understanding of Catholic values, and connect with others through shared experiences of worship, music, and learning.
The Festival offers a vibrant program including keynote speakers, engaging workshops, live music, and the chance to meet fellow students, youth leaders, bishops, and passionate Catholic voices. It promises to be a powerful and uplifting experience for any young person looking to explore and live out their faith more fully. Please click on the image for more information.
Applications for this event will open in Term 3.

DID YOU KNOW? Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati, born in 1901 in Turin, Italy, was a vibrant young man known for his deep faith, love of the outdoors, and tireless service to the poor. A member of the Dominican Third Order, he dedicated his short life—he died at just 24 from polio, likely contracted while helping the sick—to living out the Beatitudes with joy and humility. Admired for his mountaineering spirit and devotion to social justice, he became a role model for Catholic youth worldwide. His canonisation, long anticipated, is now officially set for 7 September 2025, when he will be declared a saint alongside Blessed Carlo Acutis in a joint ceremony led by Pope Leo XIV. The Vatican recognised a miraculous healing attributed to Frassati’s intercession: the sudden recovery of a seminarian in Los Angeles who had torn his Achilles tendon and experienced a complete and inexplicable healing during a novena to Frassati. His legacy continues to inspire young people to live boldly for Christ—verso l’alto, “to the heights.” |
Wishing you and your family a safe and relaxing break.
