We are no longer accepting participants for NCYC 2007.  We do request prayers for those who are participating in this wonderful event. Please check back often as information for future NCYC's will be posted as it becomes available.

WHO: NCYC is open to all Catholic high school age youth and their chaperons. The majority of youth participants are between 16 and 18 years old. They are often leaders in their local parishes, schools and/or diocese, though many are just beginning to connect to their faith. Some attendees may have participated in previous national or international events such as the World Youth Day. Many are experiencing this type of gathering for the first time.

WHAT: The National Catholic Youth Conference (NCYC) is an exciting, biennial four-day experience of prayer, community, and empowerment for Catholic teenagers and their adult chaperons. The schedule includes general and concurrent sessions addressing a wide variety of topics including forgiveness, Catholic spirituality and prayer, global issues, sexuality, and leadership. There are also opportunities for liturgy and special activities such as a concert and exhibits.

WHERE: Columbus, Ohio
WHEN: November 8-11, 2007

WHY: Youth and adult participants attend the NCYC because they want to:

• Gather on a national level
• Learn more about themselves and their relationship to the Catholic Church
• Celebrate their Catholic Christian faith
• Meet thousands of other Catholic youth
• Share beliefs and experiences
• Recognize their role in the larger Catholic Church

HOW: Plan, Prepare, Pray, Plead (fund-raise), and Pack!!!!!
