Kari and Mike start off today’s episode with a little Advent chat and then speak with a contingent of young Catholics who recently returned from NCYC 2023, the National Catholic Youth Congress in Indianapolis. This year’s four-day conference hosted 13,000 young people from across the country and featured breakout sessions, keynote speakers, Masses, time for confession, and camaraderie with their fellow young people. Joining us around the table are Millet LoCasale, Director of Youth and Young Adult Ministry at Saint Katherine Drexel Parish in Egg Harbor Township and two young pilgrims, Sara LoCasale and Aerick Mallari; and Catalina Morales, Coordinator of Youth and Young Adult Ministry at Our Lady of Peace Parish in Williamstown and two of her young pilgrims Emily Hamilton and Luke Johnson.

Our guests filled us in on what it was like to participate this year and what they took away from such a unique Catholic event.
