Catholic Festival: WeBelieve Festival 2026

About This Event

WeBelieve brings thousands together to encounter Jesus Christ in His Church through prayer, worship, talks, workshops, music, and community. Across the weekend, we’ll discover the traditions and charisms that flow through the Church, grow in authentic community, and encounter the transforming love of God. Hosted at St Mary’s College, Oscott, the festival is a feast of the True, the Good, and the Beautiful, with space for families, young adults, parish groups, clergy, religious, and ministries from across the Catholic Church. Whether you come for the whole weekend or just a day, we’d love to welcome you into a joyful celebration of faith, friendship, and mission. You don’t have to come from Friday for the whole weekend. WeBelieve offers day tickets, so you can come just on Saturday or Sunday if that works better. Friday: Opening Day Join us as WeBelieve begins with Eucharistic Adoration, talks, prayer, Mass, and evening sessions to open the festival weekend. Friday includes sessions on the Eucharist, the Trinity, religious freedom, Divine Mercy, Catholic revival, healing, vocation stories, Christian art, and men’s formation. The day builds towards Holy Mass in the evening, followed by talks, theatre, prayer, and Compline. It’s a strong start for anyone arriving for the full weekend, but you can also join later in the festival if you’re only able to come for a day. Saturday: Formation, Worship and Community Saturday is a full festival day, with Mass, Lauds, rosary, talks, workshops, family activities, teen sessions, theatre, history walks, and opportunities for prayer throughout the day. Sessions include topics like Catholic Scripture, marriage, AI and the Church, theosis, parish renewal, beauty in churches, public faith, discernment, evangelisation, poetry, religious life, and the Syro-Malabar tradition. The evening continues with reconciliation, healing prayer, live music, a talent show, film, games, and Compline. It’s probably the best day to come if you want the widest mix of talks, worship, fellowship, and festival atmosphere in one day. Sunday: Mission, Friendship and Renewal Sunday focuses strongly on mission, friendship, vocation, healing, and how faith is lived in the world. The programme includes Mass, Lauds, family rosary, guided prayer, talks on sharing Jesus, conversion, friendship, the Eucharist, Carlo Acutis, evangelisation, AI, Theology of the Body, transgenderism, marriage preparation, the Holy Land, and whether Britain can believe again. There are also sessions for families, young adults, parents, women, children, and those discerning vocation, alongside music, reconciliation, a healing service, poetry, live performance, and Compline. If Saturday is the broadest festival day, Sunday feels especially strong for people looking for renewal, practical mission, and deeper conversation. Monday: Closing Morning Monday is the closing morning of the festival, with Lauds and Benediction followed by Holy Mass. It’s a quieter, more prayerful end to the weekend, giving everyone a chance to gather one final time before the programme finishes at midday. This day is less about workshops and more about closing the festival together in worship, thanksgiving, and sending people home renewed.
