INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.—The 2023 National Catholic Youth Conference (NCYC) will be held Nov. 16-18 at the Indiana Convention Center for teens ages 14-18. NCYC is produced and presented by the National Federation for Catholic Youth Ministry (nfcym.org).

 

This year’s theme is “Fully Alive,” inspired by Gn 1:27: “God created mankind in His image; in the image of God He created them.”

 

This Catholic three-day conference, led by a team of speakers and artists, will include opportunities for spiritual growth, prayer, learning, and service. Participants will take part in a program of workshops and prayer experiences, artistic and recreational activities, and opportunities to connect with religious communities and Catholic colleges and universities.

 

NCYC programming will feature Sister Josephina Garrett, CSFN, and Mari Pablo, as emcees, among many other renowned speakers and award-winning musicians like For King & Country, the opening act for the conference.

 

Archbishop Nelson J. Perez of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia will attend NCYC in his role as the episcopal liaison of NFCYM. Archbishop Perez often reminds the youth and young adults in his diocese, “You are not the future of the Church, you are the Church.”

 

General admission is $320; prices increase after April 1.  The full amount is due at the time of purchase. Adults over the age of 21 may purchase tickets; youth attendees should not purchase their own tickets.  Tickets and hotel booking are both at the portal at https://ncyc.us/buy-passes/
