About this event
All are especially invited (whether you have registered as a pilgrim or not!) to attend the opening of the Australian Catholic Youth Festival at St Patrick’s Cathedral.
Featuring live music performances and a chance to pray before the World Youth Day Cross and Icon, be part of Australia’s biggest Catholic youth event of 2025. Bring your family, friends, everyone is welcome!
From the Cathedral, we’ll have the opportunity to share our faith with Melbourne and carry the Cross and Icon through the city streets along the Yarra River to the Melbourne Exhibition and Convention Centre. Festival pilgrims will enter the Centre and continue their adventure.
