The Australian Catholic Youth Festival (ACYF) is a national gathering of Catholic young people established by the Australian Catholic Bishops Conference (ACBC).
The ACYMC is Australia’s premier youth ministry training, formation, and networking experience.
Ignite Conference is a national Catholic youth conference held in Brisbane for adults, students, kids, ministry leaders, teachers, priests and religious.
In October 1991, a small group of Australian Catholics, inspired by the revival of the ancient Paris to Chartres Pilgrimage, embarked from St Patrick’s Cathedral in Ballarat and walked to Sacred Heart Cathedral, Bendigo.
