In a distinctly Catholic setting, the National Catholic Youth Conference
invites participants to encounter Christ, experience church, and be empowered for discipleship.
NCYC will take place November 20-23, 2025. More information coming December 2022.
Every other year, Catholic young people and their chaperones—youth ministers, campus ministers, parents, catechists, priests, coaches, and scout leaders—come together to pray, learn, and grow in their faith. In addition to opportunities to receive the sacraments of the Eucharist and penance, NCYC participants attend general and breakout sessions on topics relevant to living as a disciple of Christ in today’s world, visit with organizations that provide resources and other support to youth and youth ministry, spend time in personal and communal prayer, and engage in service to others.
On the off years of NCYC the Diocese host the Owensboro Diocese Youth Conference (ODYC). Click here for information on November 2024’s ODYC.
