2025 NCYC
NCYC: I Am | Yo Soy, was held on November 20-22, 2025, at the Indiana Convention Center and Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, IN.
The 2025 theme, I Am | Yo Soy, reflected on the time God appeared to Moses through the burning bush and explored how the Sacraments are the living story of God’s love, uniting us with Him through Jesus and the Church. Through the Sacraments, we encounter the fullness of salvation and the tangible presence of Emmanuel—God with us.

Testimonies
"I felt the Lord's love not just through the holy sacraments and adoration but along with the people around me throughout the entire event"
"My youth experienced the power of the church in diversity through the plenary sessions. They encountered God (by their own reports) through worship, adoration, and Mass. They were in fellowship with other Catholics and pilgrims through the exhibition hall and through downtime in the convention center. They learned about their faith and were moved by the breakout sessions."
