The Archdiocese of Chicago is pleased to announce the return of Holy Fire this fall! Occurring every two years, Holy Fire gathers young people in grades 6 through 9 to experience a profound and personal encounter with Jesus Christ through His Church. Holy Fire features dynamic speakers and live musical performances, and engages participants in powerful moments of prayer, liturgy and worship.

All parishes and schools across the archdiocese (and beyond!) are invited and encouraged to join in this important moment of spiritual renewal in the life of our youth in our Church. Young people preparing for the sacrament of confirmation are especially encouraged to participate as a milestone moment of encounter and communion during their sacramental journey.

This year, Holy Fire will occur as a one-day event on Saturday, November 2. Please note that consideration of All Souls' Day has been taken in scheduling and planning this event.

Tickets will be $40 each. In lieu of scholarships, parishes demonstrating economic need may apply for a discounted ticket price of $20. Please email [email protected] with a brief explanation of your economic need.

You will be billed by the Finance Department. Please do not send a check to the Events Team. The invoice you receive is for your records only.
