National Catholic Youth Conference

 

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.
  • 2027 NCYC Dates: November 18-20.
  • 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.

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 $1,000 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? 

Updates forthcoming! Thank you for desiring to support our youth!
