The Archdiocesan Youth Conference (AYC) gathers youth of local parishes in the Archdiocese come together to pray, praise, and adore God. As of now, the conference will be held at the Hilton Americas Hotel and the George R. Brown Convention Center. Through this event, young people are challenged to live out their faith, learn from exciting and informative presentations from outstanding national speakers and musiciands, 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.
