Rebecca Gorham - "When you walk into an arena without an empty seat, thousands upon thousands of young adults with whom you instantly identify, the scene and the awe that the scene evokes is simply breathtaking. Now back in our home diocese, it is hard to describe how amazingly profound this experience was for me, the youth group of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, and the entirety of those in attendance from" read more |

"When I reflect back on the National Youth Conference (NCYC) one word keeps coming back- incredible! To be in a room with 24,000 (yes 24,000) other teens and chaperones was something that I have never experienced before in my life.

Coming from our small but incredible mission diocese, I never realized" read more |

After we loaded the bus in the early morning of November 19 to travel to KC, we all changed as we mingled with other Catholic teens just like us. That was only the beginning." read more |

Matt Torma - When I first heard about NCYC i thought it was a boring seminar that just consisted of speeches with people who would speak in a monotonous voice. But as NCYC grew closer and everybody started talking about the trip to Ohio that occurred two years ago, I got fired up. The ten hour bus ride to NCYC felt like a ten year trip.

Thank you for the opportunity, and thanks to everyone for supporting the youth group at Sacred Heart. |
