Rise Up is an annual conference run by Catholic Christian Outreach. It is the second-largest Catholic conference for youth in Canada (behind Steubenville Toronto),[1] and drew 1300 participants to the 2019 five-day conference in Toronto.[2] In 2018, the conference attracted delegates from 79 of Canada’s 96 universities.[3]

Rise Up takes place every year from December 27 to January 1. It includes presentations, workshops, live worship, adoration, reconciliation, and a New Year's banquet and dance.[4] It is designed to deepen students' spiritual lives and to motivate them to share the faith with others.[5]
