Rise Up

Rise Up is a conference for young adults (aged 18-35) hosted by Catholic Christian Outreach, a Canadian university student movement - but Rise Up is more than a conference. It exists to motivate and inspire leaders for the renewal of the world.

Rise Up 2011: Vancouver
JP II: Inspired by his Legacy

During his pontificate of nearly 27 years, Blessed John Paul II made a significant impact on our Church and in the world. It is no secret that JPII had a special love for young people, and one of his great legacies is found in the holiness and mission that he inspired in us, the youth of the world. Come to Vancouver for Rise Up 2011 and reflect with us on the life of JPII and discover how you are part of the legacy of this missionary Pope!

“In the unforgettable words [of Pope John Paul II]: ‘Do not be afraid! Open, open wide the doors to Christ!’ What the newly-elected Pope asked of everyone, he was himself the first to do... this exemplary son of Poland helped believers throughout the world not to be afraid to be called Christian, to belong to the Church, to speak of the Gospel. In a word: he helped us not to fear the truth.”
