Celebrate Your Faith
Melbourne is a fantastic place to celebrate your faith on your way to World Youth Day 2008. Through events specifically organised for Melbourne’s Days in the Dioceses as well as the day-to-day activities of the Church in the community, you will experience many examples of the “living” Church.
Melbourne has a rich Catholic history - it’s the largest Archdiocese in Australia - and continues to serve all, especially the poor and disadvantaged.
If you’re from Melbourne, Days in the Dioceses is a chance to engage with other young pilgrims from all over the world and share with them all that our city has to offer. For our overseas pilgrims, it’s a chance to encounter Christ in a new country alongside thousands of other young people on the same journey as you.
One of the events you won’t want to miss is a special Eucharist to commission pilgrims on their way to Sydney. We’re expecting more than 50,000 people to attend this inspiring event.
