FAQ

⁠Is it going to be the same as last year’s Unite?

Unite 2025 is set to be a game changer event for the Eparchy with headlining speakers coming in including cardinals, archbishops, international speakers and musical talents and even a Malayalee Cinema Superstar! ✨ All our guests will be coming in to both share their insights and engage with us in workshops throughout the 4 days.

Moreover, with all participants attending being 18+, the experience will also be more relatable and personalised to the Youth.

Everything from the talented music ministry to the performances to the speakers will be completely different and absolutely game changing in Unite 2025.

$550 is too much for a Retreat

Unite is not a retreat, it’s a conference and more importantly, a celebration of our Syro-Malabar identity through the commemoration of Christ. ✨ It is the only time within every 2-3 years, where Youth across the Eparchy (both Australia and New Zealand) 🇦🇺🇳🇿 come together and share in both the love of Christ and His Church for 4 days.

Participants will have the opportunity to engage themselves in workshops and activities across the 4 days, participate in Forane vs Forane activities, performances 🎤 and Holy Qurbana and Eucharistic Adoration on an Eparchial level. ✝️

Understanding that the $550 price tag is rather expensive, we encourage you guys all to register now before the prices go up even higher. There are payment plan options through Zip where you can set up a payment amount and frequency and hence reduce the burden of the cost whilst still securing a spot for the conference. 🪑

Furthermore, we will be offering reimbursements through fundraising to cover part of either the registration or transport for Unite 2025. 🚌

So unless you are waiting for the prices to go up, we suggest you get registered RIGHT NOW!🚨

Why should I go to Unite 2025 and what will I get if I attend?

Unite 2025 will be an unmissable event that will be the biggest celebration of our Syro Malabar heritage across our Eparchy. 🥳 It is a time to unite together as one and boldly stand tall and unleash the Syro Pride ✝️ within you and be awestruck by the identity of faith that you possess! It’s an event that has had countless hours of preparation and planning to give you the ultimate Christ encounter and experience that could change your life.

Through the various speakers, performers and workshops there is something in it for everyone!

There will be lots of merch up for grabs at Unite. 👕 Both clothes and other items will be available for you to grab as memorabilia of this event!

With the conference being exclusive to participants 18+, it will be up to you to make the experience memorable and one you can cherish for years to come and at the end of the day – you will only be able to get as much as you are ready to give!
