BLACK MOUNTAIN — Youth across the Diocese of Charlotte joined for prayer, fellowship and fun at the 47th annual Diocesan Youth Conference (DYC) April 26-28 at Ridgecrest Conference Center.
It was the first year at DYC for Marshall Davis, a member of Holy Cross Parish in Kernersville. “I found it to be an amazing experience,” he said. “I learned a lot, and I’m excited to come back. I got to meet a lot of great people, make invaluable friendships, and made memories that will last a long time.”
Each year DYC brings together high school students from around the diocese for a theme-centered weekend of workshops, led by youth and adults, with keynote speakers, entertainment, daily Mass, Eucharistic Adoration and confession – all providing the opportunity to grow in the Catholic faith. This year’s event welcomed more than 200 attendees from across the diocese.
This year’s theme – “Remain in Me,” taken from the Gospel of John 15:4 – echoed the theme of the 2024 Eucharistic Congress that will be held this August.
