> What is NCYC?  Enjoy speakers, workshops, live music, rousing large sessions, a huge closing liturgy, exploring your faith in a supportive environment, and, perhaps best of all, being part of an enormous community of peers who love Jesus and aren't afraid to show it! Teens and youth leaders can together harness the experience and bring it back to their parishes!
