WHO: NCYC is open to all Catholic high school age
youth (during the 2011-2012 school year) and their chaperons. The youth 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 Young Neighbors in Action or 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 concerts and exhibits.

themselves and their relationship to the Catholic Church

their Catholic Christian faith

youth

role in the larger Catholic Church
