On 7-9 December 2017, 15,000 young people are expected in Sydney from all round Australia for ACYF 2017 - the 3rd national Catholic Youth Festival hosted by the Australian Bishops.  The theme of this Festival is Open new horizons for spreading joy.  The Festival offers a multitude of ways of expressing Catholic faith in an amazing three day experience.  The Festival is for Year 9-30yos.  Parishes and schools are asked to consider sending a group.  Smaller parishes might join together or connect their young people with another parish.  Ballarat Diocese will be assisting with this, including planning travel and accommodation.  Festival details and links are on the diocesan website Youth and Young Adult pages here or contact us by email. 

Project Compassion demonstrates how love for our neighbours can transform lives this year.
