AYC also known as Archdiocesan Youth Conference 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.

Over the course of the weekend, attendees will immerse themselves in the diverse spirit of the archdiocese. They will engage with inspiring talks, interactive workshops, and transformative prayer experiences, including daily Mass, Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament, and the Sacrament of Confession. AYC creates a space for spiritual renewal and fosters community, encouraging participants to strengthen their connection with Christ and one another.

This event is truly a celebration where faith, fellowship, and the love of God come together, leaving participants with an unforgettable experience that enriches their spiritual lives.
