The Archdiocese of Los Angeles Youth Ministry Division is coordinating a Virtual Delegation for NCYC 2021.  Traveling to Indianapolis for the in-person event is not feasible for most but we can experience NCYC in a brand new way.  You can participate as a group at your parish or as a family or individual from home. 
 What is NCYC?

 - Be EMPOWERED for Discipleship
 
A nation wide gathering of:
- Catholic Teens (High School Age)

An opportunity for youth to gather with thousands of Catholic peers and participate in:
