Jesuit Mission Maytime Fair

The Maytime Fair is a grassroots community event attracting over 5,000 participants acting in solidarity to create a more inclusive and just world.  

2025 Maytime Fair

Saturday 3 May was a vibrant celebration of the Jesuit family and our wider community coming together in joy, generosity, and shared purpose. The Maytime Fair was filled with fun, connection, and heartfelt support for the vulnerable communities we walk alongside.

Thank you to everyone who joined us on the day or supported Jesuit Mission through online purchases—your generosity helped make this year’s Fair a tremendous success! With beautiful weather drawing in large crowds, many stalls sold out, creating a buzzing atmosphere of energy and goodwill.

The spirit of community was truly alive, with schools, parishes, teachers, students, and supporters all uniting to uplift those in need around the world. We are deeply grateful for the incredible year-round effort of the many volunteers whose dedication brings this event to life.

A special thank you to Xavier College, who have graciously hosted the Fair on their grounds for over 70 years. And to everyone who donated goods, offered sponsorship, or gave their time—we couldn’t do it without you.

We’re already looking forward to seeing you all again next year!
