National Catholic Youth Conference
What is NCYC?
The Diocese of Evansville will attend the largest gathering of Catholic youth in the United States again in 2021! The National Catholic Youth Conference will take place in Indianapolis, November 18-20, 2021. This year's theme is "Ablaze ● Enciende el Fuego" (Click here to visit the official NCYC homepage).
The three-day event has been described by youth, priests, and other adults as "faith-filled," "action-packed," and, of course, "fun!" Participants enjoy some of the most amazing liturgies and prayer experiences during NCYC, and there are daily opportunities to hear the top Catholic musicians and speakers in the U.S.!
We will depart from two locations (Jasper and Evansville) on Thursday, November 18th at noon CT, and we will return late night on Saturday, November 20th (or early Sunday, November 21st).
The trip has been designed to keep participant costs to a minimum, and the $365 fee includes the conference fee, bus transportation to/from Indianapolis (including all transfers during the weekend), hotel accommodations, daily breakfast, a commemorative trip t-shirt, one group meal (Thursday evening), and pizza each night at the hotel before bed.

Registration Information
The first step in registering your parish/school group for NCYC is to complete the Diocesan Reservation Form. This will allow OYAYA to place your youth and adults in the official diocesan group. This does not replace the NFYCM registration that will be completed after you have received your registration forms (see below). The Diocesan Reservation Form is what will be used to determine your group deposit and to ensure that your participants reserve one of the diocesan allotment of 100 event tickets. Group leaders should click the button below to visit the Diocesan Reservation Form.
NFCYM will exclusively use an online registration system for the National Catholic Youth Conference. The online system is designed to allow data entry to occur at either the parish/school level or by the parish/school leader. The registration link will be posted here when it becomes available.
