Here are just a few:<\/p>\n<p>1) Seeing 25,000 youth gathered in one place from all around the country (and beyond) is an amazing sign of the universality of the Church and a great witness of hope to our Church now and into the future;<\/p>\n<p>2) Having even passing-in-the-hall moments to greet our peers in itinerant ministry is always a blessing;<\/p>\n<p>3) This year we have the joy of ministering at 2 Masses, and partnering with the NFCYM in creating a new venue at NCYC, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ncyc.info\/music-and-message-stage\/\">Music and Message Stage<\/a>.  We&#8217;re very excited for this opportunity.  We&#8217;re also grateful that we get to have our first moments on the MainStage in Lucas Oil Stadium &#8211; both to announce the new venue (in hopefully comedic fashion) and to offer a prayer and song of blessing over the youth ambassadors at the conference.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve posted a graphic below in case you need to know where to find us at NCYC.  Please some say hello and add to the joy of just a great event of faith!
