NCYC - November 18-21, 2027


"To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps"

Are you or do you know a youth who may be called to join over 20,000 teenagers at the National Catholic Youth Conference (NCYC) in Indianapolis next fall (November 18-21, 2027)? All teens who will be in high school during the 2027-2028 school year are invited to experience the vastness, depth, and life of the Catholic Church like never before! Participants will hear from some of today's leading Catholic speakers, musical artists and evangelists and experience an encounter with Jesus and his Church that will challenge and inspire them to live out their faith more boldly in a world that is desperate for their God-given gifts and talents to be lived out through their particular call to holiness!

Diocesan Scholarship Information:

The Diocese of Davenport also offers an opportunity for those in financial need to apply for scholarships that can be awarded in the amount of $290 or $145.


Applications are filled out by the youth and then submitted to parish group leaders to review and provide a written recommendation before submitting to the diocesan office. 

All applications MUST be turned in to diocese by November 2, 2026. Thus, forms should be submitted to parish offices or to Brett Adams by Friday, October 30, 2026.

Parish leaders will be notified of any awarded scholarships in the initial round by November 6th. The Diocesan scholarship fund is limited. If funding permits, there may be a second scholarship application round for those that miss the initial opportunities.
