National Catholic Youth Conference
November 20-22, 2025
Indianapolis, IN
Registration is Now CLOSED For This Event
What is NCYC?
The Diocese of Evansville will attend the largest gathering of Catholic youth in the United States again in 2025! The National Catholic Youth Conference will take place in Indianapolis on November 20-22, 2025.
NCYC is 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. NCYC is the premiere Catholic youth event on a national scale that gathers people from all across America for a life-changing encounter with Christ.
The trip is designed to keep participant costs to a minimum, and the total cost this year is $435 per person. The actual cost is $560 per person, but with the assistance of two youth endowments from the Catholic Foundation, each individual attendee will automatically receive a $125 scholarship. The trip will include the conference fee, bus transportation to and from Indianapolis (including all transfers during the weekend), hotel accommodations for 2 nights, daily breakfast at the hotel, a commemorative trip t-shirt, a clear drawstring bag (only clear bags allowed in stadium and convention center this year), and a pizza option before bed both nights.
