What is NCYC?
The National Catholic Youth Conference is a national gathering of Catholic high school students and adult leaders organized by the National Federation for Catholic Youth Ministry.
Through prayer, the sacraments, inspiring speakers, music, and fellowship, NCYC invites young people to encounter Christ and discover how they are called to live as missionary disciples.
NCYC is more than an event. It is an opportunity to experience the universal Church, build friendships rooted in faith, and return home renewed in your commitment to Jesus.
