AYC 2014

The Archdiocesan Youth Conference (AYC) gathers over 2200 participants to the Hilton of Americas in downtown Houston. It is the largest Archdiocesan event of the year and gathers parishes from all over the greater Galveston-Houston area.

Through this event, young people are challenged to live out their faith, learn from exciting and informative presentations from outstanding national speakers and musicians, and make new friendships.

The Youth Conference also provides youth with a unique opportunity to interact with the Cardinal and Auxiliary Bishops of the Archdiocese to pray, dialogue and reflect on the role of the young church of Galveston-Houston.

Participants will experience the diversity of the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston and will also have the opportunity to share and deepen their faith through daily liturgy and prayer experiences.

We will meet at Epiphany for a bus ride to the hotel on Friday, July 25^th at 3:00pm. Registration includes transportation, conference fee, hotel room, and most meals*. Pick up will be at the Hilton of Americas on Sunday, July 27^th at 11:30am. Your family is encouraged to join us for closing Mass with the Cardinal in the Main Ballroom.

*Please bring money for dinner Friday night in the food court located across from the Hilton. You also might want money to purchase tshirts and other Catholic gear at the conference.
