The annual festival will take place at St Mary’s Cathedral and is the official Archdiocesan launch of the CYM journey to World Youth Day Seoul 2027.

CYM Director Adam Phillips said the Festival is a chance for the community to come together in faith and friendship.

“The Festival of Christ the King aims to bring young people from across the Archdiocese together – with the same way World Youth Day, which was inspired by Pope St John Paul II, brings young people from across the globe together to encounter Christ, celebrate our faith and share in the joy of being part of the Church together,” Adam said.

“And the best part – It’s completely FREE,” he said.
