NCYC 2027
The National Catholic Youth Conference (NCYC) is a three-day gathering for high school youth and their adult chaperones, taking place November 18–20, 2027, at Lucas Oil Stadium and the Indiana Convention Center in Indianapolis.
Sponsored by the National Federation for Catholic Youth Ministry, NCYC invites young people to encounter Christ, experience the wider Church, and be strengthened for lives of discipleship.
NCYC is open to young people who will be in high school at the time of the conference.
Check out the NCYC website for more details on what to expect at the conference.
