NCYC Teen Testimonies

What an indescribable blessing to go on this journey with such beautiful people. My faith has been strengthened by sharing these memories with you. I thank God for blessing me with the privilege to encounter all of you and I am proud to call you my NCYC family. For I, the Lord your God, hold your right hand, it is I who say to you, “Fear not, I will help you.” Isaiah 41:13
I chose to come on this trip because of the struggle I have had faithfully recently. I truly had the best time of my life through those 3 days. I am a senior at Seton Catholic High School in Richmond Indiana and this weekend was so eye opening faithfully and socially. Thank you for the great experience and I hope to see the conference continue to do so well in the future!
NCYC 2019! You truly changed my life I thank the Lord for answering my prays. I hope to everyone who still is searching for answers they will be found! God is good all the time and all the time God is good! NC! YC!

2021 Theme: Ablaze • Enciende el Fuego

The second chapter of the book of Acts tells about the coming of the Holy Spirit. At NCYC 2021, we will call upon the Holy Spirit to descend upon our young Church and set them Ablaze for the Lord!

El segundo capítulo del libro de los Hechos de los Apóstoles nos habla de la venida del Espíritu Santo. En NCYC 2021 pediremos que el Espíritu Santo descienda sobre nuestra Iglesia joven y ¡encienda en ella el fuego del Señor!

Planning in a Pandemic

COVID-19 continues to dominate the news. We at the National Federation for Catholic Youth Ministry (NFCYM) continue to pray for all those affected by this virus and for the development and deployment of improved treatment and prevention protocols and the availability of vaccines to prevent illness.
 
Despite the period of uncertainty in which we currently find ourselves, NFCYM continues to move forward in a spirit of hope and optimism with plans for an in-person National Catholic Youth Conference (NCYC) November 18-20, 2021, in Indianapolis. We are working to develop virus mitigation and response plans specifically for NCYC. Only with plan approval from local officials will NFCYM open the doors to the 2021 NCYC.
 
If you have previously participated in NCYC, 2021 will look and operate differently to help protect participants to the degree possible from infection. We are developing COVID-19 Safety Guidelines that will be updated periodically based on guidance from state and local authorities as well as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. 
 
Areas that we are exploring include, but are not limited to:
  • Required Masks & Social Distancing
  • Limited Session Capacity & Participant Groupings
  • Designated Areas for Food & Beverage Consumption
  • Sanitizing Stations & Periodic Cleaning of Frequently Touched Surfaces
  • No Facility Access for Those Experiencing Symptoms of COVID-19
 
Please direct specific questions to ncyc@ncyc.info.
