The Archdiocesan Youth Conference (AYC) gathers participants - both youth and adults - from all over the local Church. AYC is the largest evangelizing event for older adolescents that the Office of Adolescent Catechesis and Evangelization hosts annually.
Participants will experience the diversity of the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston! They will have the opportunity to share and deepen their relationship with Jesus Christ through daily Mass, Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament, Confession, dynamic talks, and other prayer experiences.
Registrations have not opened for the 2024 Archdiocesan Youth Conference (AYC).
Important Details:
Details for AYC 2024 are forthcoming this Spring from the Office of Adolescent Catechesis and Evangelization.
NOTE: If we end up with a hotel room with less than 4 teens, the cost for AYC may increase for said teens (as we must make sure we have enough to cover all rooms). Hopefully, this can be avoided.
To make AYC more affordable for families, we will not be taking a bus there. Families will be responsible for the transportation of their teens to and from AYC.
AYC will be on July 26 - 28, 2024 at the Hilton Americas Hotel. The conference officially begins on Friday at 6:30 p.m. and ends on Sunday between 10:00 - 11:00 a.m.
Hope your teens can join us for AYC! They will get so much out of this weekend, including:
Dynamic presentation of the Gospel message and authentic Catholic Church teaching
Celebration of the gifts and talents of our Church’s young people
Experience of diverse cultures and faith expressions
The very best presenters in the evangelization of young people the country has to offer
Sacramental celebrations that feed the mind, body, and soul
Phenomenal praise and worship music led by local and national music ministry leaders
Opportunities to sing, pray, dance, contemplate, worship and celebrate with their peers
Mass with His Eminence Cardinal DiNardo
