Dallas Catholic Youth Conference (DCYC)

The Dallas Catholic Youth Conference is an opportunity for high school students across Diocese of Dallas to gather together for one weekend to encounter Jesus. The weekend provides opportunities for high schoolers to dive deeper into their faith through prayer (Mass, Adoration, Worship, etc.), talks from national and local speakers, and participating in the growing Catholic Church present throughout Dallas. 

All parishes in the Diocese of Dallas are welcomed to bring a group of high school youth to this weekend event February 14-16, 2025, as we unpack the theme - VIVA CRISTO REY. The weekend will be an opportunity to reflect on the journey of St. Jose Sanchez Del Rio and focusing on Christ the King. Our keynote speakers, Oscar Rivera, Father Agustino Torres, and Emily Wilson, will unpack this theme through our general sessions that also include engaging prayer experiences and music lead by Dave Moore Band. In the weekend, there is also time for breakout talks that offer a more focused discussion on topics that speak directly to what youth are engaging in and going through.  By the end of the weekend we hope that our groups have fostered a deeper community with their parish and the Diocese and most importantly had an encounter with Jesus Christ that can foster a deeper relationship outside the church.
