NCYC 2025

The National Catholic Youth Conference (NCYC) brings thousands of teens together to worship and celebrate our Catholic faith. Throughout this three-day event, held in downtown Indianapolis, you will experience keynote talks, breakout sessions, the best Catholic musicians, and participation in the Sacraments. Service opportunities, a comedy show, and a thematic park full of worldwide Catholic organizations are all there to explore. This is the most popular Catholic youth event in America.
CTEC, welcomes all those in high school in the 2025-2026 school year to attend. Young adults (18+) are also needed to participate and act as chaperones for the conference. Approximate cost for this trip is $650 for all expenses. We will continue to fundraise through the event.

ENCOUNTER GROUPS
Faith is a journey; whenever we embark on a journey, we seek companionship. Encounter groups will cultivate a sense of companionship in a small group setting with fellow teens and adult mentors. Both guys and girls will meet on the same nights but split into separate gender-specific small groups. These encounter groups will enable teenagers to build genuine relationships while delving deeper into our faith through the wisdom of the saints and scripture. -

What is Destination Jesus?
Destination Jesus is weekend conference-style retreat for high school students. It is a day of prayer, games, food, and music, joining with other high school students, priests, seminarians, and nuns from around the Diocese of Lafayette-in-Indiana
Here are just a few of the standout experiences being planned for the 30th anniversary of Destination Jesus:Catacombs Experience:Teens will walk through a recreated Catacomb of St. Sebastian to experience a glimpse of early Christian life, reflecting on the courage of the saints who lived and died for their faith.Reliquary:Thanks to Marian University, teens will have the opportunity to pray with sacred relics of the saints, connecting them to the rich tradition of the Communion of Saints.Podcast Recording:Teens can participate in a live recording of a poplular podcast, (to be announced soon) sharing their faith stories and inspiring others with their experiences.Coffee Shop & Music Stage:In partnership with Java House Coffee, the coffee shop and music stage will be a great space for fellowship, enjoying music, and relaxing with friends.Movie Screening:Teens will watch the powerful short film “The Saint of Auschwitz” about St. Maximilian Kolbe. Before the movie they will meet the translator of his autobiography and hear powerful testimony from her.Performance Painter:This year we will welcome a performance painter who will inspire our young people through beauty. We will watch him create images of the Saints all while delivering a high-energy, dynamic performance that will captivate and energize the crowd, sparking creativity and faith in the hearts of our teens. It’s going to be an unforgettable experience that combines art, passion, and energy in one incredible presentation!
