The National Catholic Youth Conference (NCYC), sponsored by the National Federation for Catholic Youth Ministry (NFCYM), is an exciting three-day experience of prayer, community and empowerment for Catholic teenagers and their adult chaperones. The schedule includes general sessions, workshops addressing a wide variety of topics including Catholic spirituality and prayer, social justice issues, sexuality and leadership. There are also opportunities for reconciliation, daily liturgy, and special activities such as concerts, a dance, and comedy club. The thematic park is a unique venue incorporating traditional exhibits with interactive educational and recreational activities and vendors.
An online resource for NCYC 2009 is the MyCatholicVoice Virtual Pilgrimage which utilizes multimedia content to help youth, youth ministers, and parents to prepare, deepen and sustain their experience. MyCatholicVoice is working with leading innovators in ministry, new media and Internet technologies to deliver meaningful content in the areas of Evangelization, Catechesis, Prayer and Community through the Virtual Pilgrimage.
