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.
The Festival will commence with a Youth Mass at 5pm, and will be followed by a vibrant Youth Festival on the Cathedral grounds, with something for everyone to enjoy:
🙏 Youth Mass
🎶 Live Music
✨ Expo Stalls
🔫 Laser Tag
🙌 Youth Activities
🌮 Food Trucks
🤝 Connect with new people and let’s celebrate together
“Whether you’re coming with friends, your family, a youth group or parish community, everyone is invited,” Adam explained.
“Join us as we celebrate Christ the King, enjoy an unforgettable night together as we officially begin our journey towards World Youth Day Seoul 2027!” he concluded.
