NCYC

The National Catholic Youth Conference (NCYC) celebrates Catholic youth in the United States. It is organized by the National Federation for Catholic Youth Ministry (NFCYM), which is composed of diocesan leaders and collaborating members from across the Country. This conference typically draws thousands of young people and adults from all over the Country. NCYC includes a wide variety of opportunities for our young people to encounter Christ and His Church. 

There are normally five general sessions featuring nationally known speakers, one each morning and night, and a Saturday evening Mass. Between the general sessions are breakout sessions and the chance to visit the thematic village to interact with Catholic vendors and have fun. Eucharistic adoration and reconciliation are also important parts of the NCYC experience. 

NCYC is meant to be a pilgrimage, which can be easy to forget, as we are blessed to live so close to Indianapolis. As pilgrims, we prepare for God to transform our hearts and unite us more deeply in communion with Himself and each other.
