Saints Mary and Mathias Youth Ministry has a long tradition of sending teens to the National Catholic Youth Conference, also known as NCYC. 40 teens from our parish along with their adult chaperones made the pilgrimage in 2017. NCYC 2019 is scheduled for Nov. 21-13rd. 

What is NCYC?

The National Catholic Youth Conference is a powerful, biennial, three-day experience of prayer, community, and empowerment for Catholic teenagers (of high school age) and their adult chaperones. More than 23,000 young people and their chaperones attended NCYC 2015 in Indianapolis.

What Happens During NCYC? The program includes keynote presentations, prayer, workshops, Mass, and opportunities to participate in reconciliation and adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, as well as recreational activities, concerts, and exhibits. A key component of NCYC is the thematic park which is a blend of traditional exhibit booths with interactive areas featuring service projects, games, recreation, live musical performances, arts, and sports.
