Even in the midst of the pandemic, Jesus does not stop moving our hearts and working in our lives. He invites each and every one of you to come to encounter Him at EXALT21!
EXALT’21 is a two-day conference organised by OYP as part of the Archdiocese’s Catholic200SG celebrations. We encourage you to invite a few friends to join you for EXALT21! It is our prayer and hope that together, all of you may encounter Christ and a Church that is fully alive and allow Him to awaken and convert your hearts. You can look forward to mass celebrated by Archbishop William Goh, keynote sessions, workshops and many other activities!

Stay tuned for more exciting details coming soon!
