By Dan RussoThe Catholic MessengerDAVENPORT — Diocesan officials are asking high school students, parents and others interested in the 2027 National Catholic Youth Conference (NCYC) to start discussions now about attending. “Before I went (to NCYC), I had a strong faith, but that really jump started my faith.” He also now takes part in other faith-related activities more often than he used to because of his NCYC experience. The next National Catholic Youth Conference will be held Nov. 18-20, 2027, at Lucas Oil Stadium and Indiana Convention Center, Indianapolis. Presented by the National Federation for Catholic Youth Ministry, NCYC is a multi-day experience of prayer, community, evangelization, catechesis, service and discipleship.
