What is NCYC?
NCYC is an experience of faith that seeks to energize and empower the young Church towards fuller participation back home.
NCYC is a “conference” meaning that the majority of the time is spent between the hotel, convention center, and arena. The schedule is packed, which makes it a super-charged retreat, taking participants away from their daily routines and immersing them in prayer, community, and sacrament. It makes for an unforgettable experience of Church.
NCYC includes the best Catholic speakers and musicians in the country. NCYC makes it possible to experience them all at once and sometimes in smaller groups than you might expect. It’s like going to a dozen concerts at once! Each NCYC also has a “Thematic Park” which includes hundreds of exhibits by colleges, religious orders, ministry organizations, performers, and other vendors as well as opportunities to play games, participate in service projects, and to listen to even more musical performances.
In addition, NCYC has keynote addresses and workshops, for both youth and adults, addressing a wide variety of topics. Everything begins and ends with prayer, but during NCYC we pray in between as well, making it easy to “pray without ceasing.” Daily Mass is celebrated, the “Region 3” Mass, consisting of the dioceses of Pennsylvania and New Jersey, is always a highlight, and another layer of Church. Perpetual Adoration and the Sacrament of Penance and Reconciliation are offered each day.
