The number of empty chairs in the high school classroom startled me until I remembered many of the school’s young people were on a bus heading to Indianapolis for NCYC (National Catholic Youth Conference). This three-day experience of dynamic speakers, praise and worship music, and newfound friendship draws over twenty thousand teens from throughout the country.

This mountaintop encounter awakens teens to a deeper faith.
