A local Catholic youth festival celebrating the Jubilee of Youth
WHAT IS IT?
Power Up - Local Youth Festival
Power Up is an annual, local youth festival run by COYYA that centers bringing young people together to explore faith in fresh, meaningful, and hands‑on ways. The day is packed with interactive workshops that dive into topics like faith, ecology, and social justice, alongside creative experiences of prayer, spirituality, and reflection.
As the day unfolds, there’s space to connect, recharge, and celebrate, coming together for Mass, sharing food, enjoying live music, and closing the night with high‑energy praise and worship.
Power Up is a chance to build community, grow in faith, and be inspired to take that energy back into everyday life.
