Car Park 1. Construction began summer 2015 and is expected to be
open in last Summer 2017. Watch a video about the expansion
here. You can find complete information about the project online

CONGRESS LITURGIES
This Extraordinary Jubilee Year of Mercy, as called for by Pope
Francis, has inspired many people already and given the Church
great energy moving into the next year. It had a great impact on
our work in preparation for Congress 2016. The jubilee year, along with Pope
Francis' encyclical on the environment, sparked some wonderful
creativity in our liturgy preparations. Our hope is that the
liturgies of Congress may be a Spirit-filled encounter with
Christ Jesus and a celebration of the life of the Church.
We invite you to experience a liturgy from among the many
cultures represented.
