FAST24 Perth 2025

Do you feel like you have been passing through faith like a tourist? Or are you on ever-unfolding spiritual journey, wondering when you will be ready to go on an adventure with God?  

Join us this Lent for the 10th anniversary of FAST24, with the theme Pilgrims of Hope, Apostles for Today.  

As Pilgrims of Hope, we walk with God, trusting in His promises (Psalm 84:5), and as Apostles for Today, we are sent to share His hope (John 20:21). 

This year's FAST24 theme reflects the combined spirit of the Jubilee 2025 and Gaudete et Exsultate, which is about being called to holiness in today's world.

You are invited to deepen your faith, connect with other Catholics, to rediscover the joy of walking this journey of Hope together. 

Join us at FAST24 for 24 hours of community prayer, reflection, music, fellowship and team-building on 14th-15th March 2025 at Our Lady Queen of Apostles Parish in Riverton, WA.

See our online 🔗FAST24 Program Schedule for details!
