National Catholic Youth Conference – NCYC
National Catholic Youth Conference
November 19-21, 2021
This year we will be doing the National Catholic Youth Conference LIVE and IN-PERSON right here in our own Parish Center!! For the first time we will participate in on-site service, prayer and incredible music as well as live-stream Conference keynotes right here at St Pius Tenth and if that’s not crazy cool enough for you we’ll be participating in Diocesan pre-NCYC events as well!!
We are setting the fee for each teen at $200 which will include National, Diocesan and our own local programing! AND meals, Diocesan and St Pius Tenth swag too! If you’re interested (no commitment needed yet) go to the Parish website, saintpiustenth.org /register for events today!
You are invited to a pilgrimage toward the National Catholic Youth Conference. We are going #VirtualNCYC all the way! Get all the details for our Biggest and Best NCYC Ever by registering below!
