National Catholic Youth Conference (NCYC)
1 members Public
A national gathering of Catholic high-school teens in faith and fellowship.
History
The National Catholic Youth Conference (NCYC) is a biennial gathering organized by the National Federation for Catholic Youth Ministry, with roots going back to mid-20th-century national youth gatherings and its modern conference format developing in subsequent decades.
Held every two years, NCYC brings together tens of thousands of Catholic high-school teens and their chaperones for keynote talks, workshops, music, Eucharistic adoration, reconciliation, and Mass — an experience of the universal Church.
Today NCYC is one of the largest gatherings of Catholic youth in the United States, forming teens and youth ministers alike.
What they do
- Host the biennial national youth conference
- Offer keynotes, workshops, prayer, and the sacraments
- Support diocesan and parish youth ministry
- Form Catholic teens as disciples
How to get involved
Teens usually attend NCYC with their parish or diocesan youth group. Ask your youth minister, or find conference and registration details on the official website.
