More than 23,000 youth from Chicago and around the country attended the National Catholic Youth Conference on Nov. 17-19 in Indianapolis, Ind.. The theme was "Called To Glory." The conference is a three-day experience of prayer, community and empowerment for Catholic teenagers (of high school age). More than 500 youth from the Archdiocese of Chicago attended.
Members of the NCYC choir lead participants in song during the opening ceremony on Nov. 17. Youth from around the country volunteered to participate in the choir and as animators (a group of teens who led the youth in song and dance during the conference).
