Rise Up is an annual conference run by Catholic Christian Outreach. It is the largest Catholic conference for youth in Canada, and drew 850 participants to the 2013 conference in Ottawa.[1]

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.[2] It is designed to deepen students' spiritual life and to motivate them to share their faith with others.[3]
