The announcement is an important step in the ongoing preparations for the festival, with groups from across Victoria and Australia able to seek accommodation with the venue location in mind.
Melbourne Archbishop Peter A Comensoli welcomed the news.
“The Melbourne Exhibition and Convention Centre is one of the largest of its kind in Australia, attracting millions of visitors each year. It holds a variety of spaces that we look forward to utilising during the festival as we welcome thousands of pilgrims to Melbourne this November,” Archbishop Comensoli said.
The festival is a national event established by the Australian bishops more than 10 years ago.
It seeks to provide young people with the opportunity to come together to connect, deepen their relationship with Jesus, be empowered to live their faith in the world and experience the breadth of the Church.
The Melbourne Archdiocese looks forward to welcoming thousands of pilgrims from 14 to 25 years of age, together with their accompanying leaders, teachers and clergy.
A new website was recently launched and will provide key resources and updates as the year progresses. The website can be accessed via: www.acyf.org.au.
