National Catholic Youth Conference (NCYC)

• A powerfully unique three-day experience of prayer, community, evangelization, catechesis, service and empowerment for Catholic teenagers (of high school age) and their adult chaperones.
• The premiere Catholic youth event on a national scale, held in Indianapolis, that gathers people from all across America (as far as Hawaii!!) for a life-changing encounter with Christ.
• 2025 NCYC Dates: November 20 - 22.
• Our St. Jude youth leave this experience with an understanding of how big the Catholic Church really is and are encouraged to live their faith “out loud” in their community.

NCYC Highlights

• Workshops that equip teens with the tools they need to navigate the world around them and live their faith in their day to day lives
• An amazing Thematic Park has interactive exhibits featuring service projects, college/university and vocational booths, religious merchandise and chances to make friends with countless other Catholics from across the United States!
• Eucharistic Adoration
• Confession with dozens of priests standing by!
• Mass in Lucas Oil Stadium as well as daily mass in several other locations.

PRAYER STOCK - An Investment in St. Jude Youth

“Prayer Stock” is a fabulous investment with a high rate of return that yields confident, connected faith-filled Catholics!

The total cost for the three day conference with hotel, meals and transportation is close to $700 per teen.

Our goal is to make the NCYC experience accessible to every teen through fundraising. Raising funds will help lower each family’s commitment to a reasonable amount per teen.

Each $10 “Share” you donate goes straight to our St. Jude teens.

Can you help?
