In December, Melbourne will welcome thousands of young Catholics from around the country for the Australian Catholic Youth Festival (ACYF) – the largest gathering of its kind in Australia. Set to be a powerful celebration of faith, connection and mission, the event invites young people to engage deeply with their spiritual journey and discover new ways of living out the Gospel in the modern world.
Held from 4–6 December 2025, the festival will take place at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre, marking a major moment in Australia’s Jubilee Year celebrations.
