The Diocese of Maitland-Newcastle now has ALIVE!

ALIVE is a clear identity and visible home for young people in the Diocese, designed to provide fun, inspiring, consistent, and engaging pathways for connection and growth from primary school through university and into the lives of young professionals.

ALIVE seeks to draw young people into a personal relationship with Christ and share it with others. It will include annual retreats that act as anchor points in the year, offering young people space to step back, build authentic friendships, and be emboldened to step out and change the world.

Young leaders who are looking to grow in their gifts will be given leadership opportunities that empower them to be confident and capable of making a meaningful difference in their schools, parishes, and the broader life of the Church.

Over a 20-year journey in a young person’s life, ALIVE will be a place to call home. You are invited to the ALIVE Launch!

When: 24 May 2026

Time: 2-5pm

Where: The Factory Theatre, Adamstown

The launch event will be a dynamic and exciting program designed for young people and their supporters. Praise & worship will be led by a nationally acclaimed team of worship leaders ft. Louisa Daniels. There will be an opportunity for encounter, worship & being called on into faith. A number of exciting plans will be announced alongside some good news stories of where ALIVE is already taking shape in schools and parishes.
