at the spectacle of the National Catholic<br />

Youth Conference.<br />

REIGN FOREST<br />

One of the highlights of NCYC was the<br />

thematic park dubbed, “<strong>The</strong> Reign Forest,”<br />

complete with booths and activities<br />

geared toward <strong>youth</strong>.<br />

PROCESSION<br />

It was a sight to behold <strong>21</strong>,<strong>000</strong> Catholics<br />

processing down 14th Street in the Power<br />

and Light District behind the Eucharist.<br />

PRAYER & SACRAMENTS<br />

It wasn’t all fun and games at NCYC. <strong>The</strong>re<br />

was also time set aside for prayer, reconciliation,<br />

Benediction and adoration.<br />

BISHOPS<br />

Bishops from around the country came<br />

to NCYC to hear directly from the <strong>youth</strong><br />

about their hopes and expectations for<br />

the church.<br />

OVERVIEW<br />

<strong>The</strong> theme of NCYC was “Christ Reigns,”<br />

but it was <strong>youth</strong> who reigned during the<br />

three-day event deep in the heart of <strong>Kansas</strong><br />

City, Mo.<br />

VOLUNTEERS<br />

While the <strong>youth</strong> got all the attention, sitting<br />

quietly in the background were thousands<br />

of volunteers who were crucial to<br />

the success of the event.<br />

TECHNOLOGY<br />

Times are changing fast in this technologydriven<br />

world, and young Catholics are on<br />

the cutting edge of it all.<br />

CONCLUSION<br />

While NCYC is supposed to stir emotion,<br />

what really determines the success of the<br />

event is what happens when these kids go<br />

back to their parishes.<br />

“It was absolutely stunning<br />

to share with <strong>21</strong>,<strong>000</strong> lively and naturally raucous teens several minutes of silent<br />

prayer and adoration of Jesus uniquely present in the Blessed Sacrament.”<br />

Last week’s National Catholic<br />

Youth Conference (NCYC)<br />

was a time of grace and<br />

blessing for the more <strong>than</strong><br />

<strong>21</strong>,<strong>000</strong> teens who came from<br />

all <strong>over</strong> the United States to <strong>Kansas</strong><br />

City. I was very proud of our staff and<br />

the legion of adult volunteers from our<br />

Archdiocese teaming with the staff<br />

and volunteers of the <strong>Kansas</strong> City-St.<br />

Joseph Diocese to extend the very best<br />

of Midwestern hospitality and to create<br />

an environment that was so conducive<br />

for our young people to hear God speak<br />

his gospel of love to their hearts.<br />

It was inspiring for me to concelebrate<br />

the closing Mass in the Sprint<br />

Center with thousands of Catholic<br />

<strong>youth</strong> enthusiastically gathered around<br />

the Lord’s altar to give him <strong>than</strong>ks for<br />

the blessing of the past few days.<br />

I was edified by our priests who<br />

heard confessions for several hours<br />

each day. Many of our priests expressed<br />

to me how touched they were<br />

by the sincerity, the humility and the<br />

faith of the young people so honestly<br />

and trustingly surrendering their sins<br />

to the Lord and opening their hearts to<br />

receive the comfort of his mercy and<br />

the power of his grace.<br />

Living up to the <strong>Kansas</strong> City reputation<br />

of always being up-to-date, I was<br />

proud that, for the first time, live video<br />

of the conference was being streamed<br />

to more <strong>than</strong> 75 countries with tens of<br />

thousands of people from other parts of<br />

the United States, as well as from other<br />

nations, being able to participate in<br />

NCYC via the Internet. It was gratifying<br />

to hear about the text messages from<br />

American soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan<br />

who were receiving encouragement<br />

and strength from the conference.<br />

I was encouraged to witness the<br />

receptive response of NCYC participants<br />

when Jason and Christalina<br />

Everett spoke frankly about the tragic<br />

consequences of the selfish indulgence<br />

of personal pleasure that so many in<br />

our culture mistake for love. It was<br />

beautiful to see our <strong>youth</strong> embrace the<br />

challenge to live the virtues of chastity<br />

and modesty that are essential for<br />

authentic love. <strong>The</strong> enthusiasm of our<br />

<strong>youth</strong> to strive to live lives of heroic,<br />

self-sacrificing love was palpable.<br />

However, the high point of the<br />

gathering occurred for me on Friday<br />

morning. Bishop Finn and I had<br />

requested that NCYC try something<br />

new in <strong>Kansas</strong> City. We asked that one<br />

of the general sessions with all <strong>21</strong>,<strong>000</strong><br />

assembled teens be devoted to a catechesis<br />

on the beauty and the power of<br />

the Eucharist followed by eucharistic<br />

adoration, culminating with a eucharistic<br />

procession through the streets<br />

of <strong>downtown</strong> <strong>Kansas</strong> City. At previous<br />

conferences there had been optional<br />

sessions with eucharistic adoration,<br />

but never in a general session and<br />

never with a eucharistic procession<br />

through the streets of the city.<br />

It was an amazing experience.<br />

Cardinal Daniel DiNardo, archbishop<br />

of Houston-Galveston, gave a profound<br />

yet engaging teaching on the gift of<br />

intimacy with Jesus that is offered<br />

through the Eucharist. It was absolutely<br />

stunning to share with <strong>21</strong>,<strong>000</strong> lively<br />

and naturally raucous teens several<br />

minutes of silent prayer and adoration<br />

of Jesus uniquely present in the<br />

Blessed Sacrament. Many of the adult<br />

volunteers shed tears as they witnessed<br />

the devotion of our young people.<br />

One of the staff members from<br />

<strong>Kansas</strong> City, Mo., related an encounter<br />

with a bread salesman who was<br />

making his normal delivery to one of<br />

the restaurants in the Power and Light<br />

District. He inquired of her, “What is<br />

going on?” She told him that 20,<strong>000</strong><br />

Catholic teens were participating in a<br />

eucharistic procession. He said to her<br />

proudly, “I’m Catholic!” as he set aside<br />

his bread trays and knelt in adoration<br />

as the Blessed Sacrament passed by.<br />

I saw many of the police officers that<br />

were assisting with security and traffic<br />

control along the route make the sign<br />

of the cross as the Eucharist passed by.<br />

I am confident that most every<br />

young person who participated in<br />

NCYC had their faith strengthened.<br />

Hopefully, each one of them returned<br />

home with a deeper experience of the<br />

love of Jesus for them and a greater<br />

love for the church.<br />

One of the <strong>youth</strong> participants was<br />

asked by an innocent passerby, “What<br />

are you protesting?” She proudly responded,<br />

“We aren’t protesting anything!<br />

We are proclaiming our love for<br />

Jesus!”<br />

Gazing back from the vantage point<br />

of Bartle Hall, I will never forget the<br />

image of <strong>21</strong>,<strong>000</strong> young people reverently<br />

following Jesus through the<br />

streets of <strong>downtown</strong> <strong>Kansas</strong> City. I<br />

trust that Catholic <strong>youth</strong> from across<br />

the nation were truly blest by their<br />

participation in NCYC. Regardless of<br />

whatever each NCYC participant received,<br />

they left a lasting impression of<br />

the vibrancy and vitality of the faith of<br />

young Catholics. I am grateful for their<br />

visit to our metropolitan community.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y renewed and strengthened my<br />

hope in the truth that Jesus is alive and<br />

well in the hearts of our young people!<br />

<strong>The</strong> theme of the conference was:<br />

“Christ Reigns!” Jesus definitely, as<br />

much as possible this side of heaven,<br />

ruled the streets of <strong>downtown</strong> <strong>Kansas</strong><br />

City for three days.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re have been some studies of<br />

how much better athletic teams performed<br />

after Pope John Paul II visited<br />

their cities. After the Holy Father<br />

visited St. Louis in January 1999, the<br />

St. Louis Rams won the Super Bowl in<br />

January 2<strong>000</strong>. I was reminded of this<br />

when the Chiefs upset the Steelers on<br />

Sunday.<br />

With God, they say, there are no<br />

coincidences.<br />

Archbishop Joseph F. Naumann led <strong>21</strong>,<strong>000</strong> teenagers in silent prayer and adoration<br />

on Nov. 20 at the National Catholic Youth Conference at the Sprint Center in<br />

<strong>Kansas</strong> City, Mo. Following adoration was a procession from Sprint, down 14th<br />

Street to the <strong>Kansas</strong> City Convention Center.<br />

REIGNFOREST<br />

“Holy cow, it’s everything I wanted,<br />

more <strong>than</strong> I could ask for. Words cannot describe how excited I am. I really like being<br />

in this Reign Forest. I’ve gone to all the booths, talked to all the religious people around.”<br />

Elena Burg, St. Paul Parish, Olathe<br />

Catholic <strong>youth</strong> wanting<br />

to relax, mingle,<br />

or burn off some<br />

energy headed to<br />

the Reign Forest —<br />

a 200,<strong>000</strong>-square-foot thematic<br />

park in Bartle Hall, which provided<br />

a wealth of educational<br />

and recreational activities.<br />

Central to the forest were<br />

three giant tree houses and<br />

an area where groups could<br />

participate in challenges that<br />

taught some surprising lessons.<br />

Exhibitors surrounded<br />

the area and <strong>youth</strong> were free<br />

to wander through booths,<br />

gathering information about<br />

religious vocations, Catholic<br />

colleges, organizations and<br />

service projects.<br />

Conference participants<br />

could test their skills at sports<br />

challenges, get creative in the<br />

art area, play on giant inflatables,<br />

or participate in an MP3<br />

experiment.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y could shop in the market<br />

place or relax in the “teens<br />

only” coffee shop, where bands<br />

played throughout the day.<br />

It was the perfect place for<br />

teens to meet old friends, make<br />

new ones and trade hats and<br />

souvenirs — all while learning<br />

a little bit more about what it<br />

means to be Catholic.<br />

PROCESSION<br />

“<strong>The</strong>re were<br />

22,<strong>000</strong> of us<br />

walking down the street at one time.”<br />

Mary Kay Doyle, Holy Trinity Parish, Lenexa<br />

After going through a activity based on the lives of the saints, a group met in one of the tree houses in the<br />

Reign Forest to discuss what they have just been through and how it is applicable to their daily life.<br />

For nearly 45 minutes, streets in <strong>downtown</strong><br />

<strong>Kansas</strong> City, Mo., were closed<br />

as clusters of teens streamed down<br />

14th Street on the morning of Friday,<br />

Nov. 20. <strong>The</strong> kids were taking part in<br />

a eucharistic procession, which began as adoration<br />

of the Blessed Sacrament inside the Sprint<br />

Center. Teens waited their turn to file out of the<br />

center and follow the Eucharist, carried in a<br />

monstrance by Archbishop Joseph F. Naumann.<br />

<strong>The</strong> procession ended several blocks later at the<br />

Bartle Hall Convention Center, where the Eucharist<br />

was placed in a room set aside for prayer and<br />

adoration.<br />

Photos from top: <strong>The</strong> eucharistic<br />

procession went on for nearly<br />

45 minutes as thousands of<br />

teens emerged from the Sprint<br />

Center.<br />

Archbishop Joseph F. Naumann<br />

led the eucharistic procession<br />

from the Sprint Center to Bartle<br />

Hall.<br />

For those who couldn’t fit into<br />

the Sprint Center, the skywalks<br />

made for perfect viewing of the<br />

impressive procession.<br />

Salesian Sister Eileen Tickner got “dunked” in the tank at her order’s display<br />

in the Reign Forest. <strong>The</strong> Salesians had video games, free yo-yos, and<br />

a host of other activities at their booth.<br />

PRAYER & SACRAMENTS<br />

BISHOPS<br />

“All of us here want to grow in our faith”<br />

If you wanted goofy<br />

hats, Catholic swag<br />

or merchandise, and<br />

earwax-melting music,<br />

then the National<br />

Catholic Youth Conference<br />

here was the place to be.<br />

But if you wanted a<br />

profound experience of the<br />

Catholic faith, this, too, was<br />

the place to be.<br />

“I think part of it is we<br />

do want to come here and<br />

have fun, but all of us here<br />

want to grow in our faith,<br />

and that’s why we’re here<br />

together,” said Catie Macke,<br />

a member of St. Joseph<br />

Parish in Crescent Springs,<br />

Ky., and a <strong>youth</strong> reporter for<br />

MyCatholicVoice.com.<br />

Just about everything<br />

— from the exhibits and<br />

activities in the sprawling<br />

<strong>The</strong>matic Park in Bartle<br />

Hall to the concerts and<br />

events in Municipal Auditorium<br />

and Sprint Center<br />

— was permeated with the<br />

Catholic faith.<br />

Traditional features of<br />

Catholic faith got their<br />

own NCYC treatment.<br />

<strong>The</strong>se included the massive<br />

eucharistic procession on<br />

Friday, the daily liturgies,<br />

Benediction and eucharistic<br />

adoration, and the closing<br />

Mass.<br />

Many of the <strong>21</strong>,<strong>000</strong><br />

<strong>youth</strong> made their ways to<br />

special chapels in Bartle<br />

Hall that were reserved for<br />

the sacrament of reconciliation,<br />

for eucharistic adoration,<br />

and for prayer.<br />

Some didn’t even need<br />

a chapel, but would quietly<br />

gather with a priest or<br />

religious for a quiet talk or<br />

spontaneous prayer.<br />

Catie Macke, St. Joseph Parish, Crescent Springs, Ky.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Sprint Center was<br />

transformed into a place of<br />

worship on Nov. <strong>21</strong> for the<br />

closing liturgy.<br />

“It’s a very<br />

energizing<br />

experience<br />

to see these young people gathered because they<br />

love Jesus and are engaged with the church.”<br />

Archbishop Joseph F. Naumann<br />

Archbishop Joseph F. Naumann led <strong>21</strong>,<strong>000</strong> <strong>youth</strong> in adoration and a eucharistic procession.<br />

Bishop Robert Finn of the Diocese of <strong>Kansas</strong> City-St. Joseph <strong>took</strong> time out of his day to visit with <strong>youth</strong> attending the National Catholic Youth Conference.<br />

Bishop Peter Christensen of the Diocese of Superior, Wis., talked with Enrico Cassinelli of Orlando,<br />

Fla., and Molly Sinott of Baltimore after a bishop’s roundtable discussion on Nov. <strong>21</strong>.<br />

Joe Anguiano traded five times to get the duck hat he was<br />

wearing, but he wasn’t finished.<br />

“I’m trying to get a moose hat,” said Anguiano, a<br />

member of St. Matthew Parish in Topeka.<br />

But like a lot of other Catholic <strong>youth</strong> at the National<br />

Catholic Youth Conference, he had more on his mind <strong>than</strong> hats.<br />

“[NCYC] really makes me want to explore my vocation, maybe<br />

become a priest or a brother,” he said.<br />

Words to gladden a bishop’s heart.<br />

This year’s NCYC was attended by 33 bishops, many of whom<br />

participated in roundtable discussions with the <strong>youth</strong>. <strong>The</strong> kids’<br />

words and public witness — especially during the impressive eucharistic<br />

procession — encouraged the bishops.<br />

“As a bishop, it’s a very energizing experience to see these<br />

young people gathered because they love Jesus and are engaged<br />

with the church,” said Archbishop Joseph F. Naumann.<br />

<strong>The</strong> bishops wanted to listen to the <strong>youth</strong> to learn of their experiences<br />

and the challenges they face.<br />

“Hopefully, we can share with them how important they are<br />

to the church and how the Lord particularly chooses the young<br />

to be his instruments of hope,” said the archbishop.<br />

What do the young want? <strong>The</strong>y want the truth preached in its<br />

fullness, and they want to be challenged.<br />

Priests distributed Communion to thousands of <strong>youth</strong>, chaperones and volunteers during the closing liturgy.<br />

Youth participants held their hands in praise during<br />

a liturgy at the Sprint Center.<br />

OVER VIEW<br />

Youth from all <strong>over</strong> the country showed their spirit and enthusiasm outside the<br />

Sprint Center on Nov. 19 as they waited to enter for the opening ceremony.<br />

“I just love seeing everyone coming together and knowing<br />

We’ve got God in<br />

common.”<br />

Alli Chisel, St. Joseph Parish, Amery, Wis.<br />

Emcee Steve Angrisano, a veteran of several NCYCs and World Youth Days, kept the crowd entertained all three<br />

evenings at the Sprint Center.<br />

Youth danced on stage as part of a choreographed routine at the opening ceremony on<br />

Nov. 19.<br />

Sometimes they’d form an impromptu conga line and snake<br />

up the sidewalk, or break into a sudden cheer or chant.<br />

“N-C!” one group would yell to another across the street.<br />

“Y-C!” the other would reply.<br />

“N-C, Y-C! N-C, Y-C!” they’d chant together.<br />

Sometimes they’d simply give each other a long, enthusiastic,<br />

“Heeyyyyy!!!”<br />

<strong>The</strong> National Catholic Youth Conference, Nov. 19 to <strong>21</strong>, brought<br />

more <strong>than</strong> <strong>21</strong>,<strong>000</strong> teenage Catholic <strong>youth</strong> to <strong>Kansas</strong> City, Mo. <strong>The</strong><br />

crowds of chattering <strong>youth</strong> largely dominated a 24-block area from<br />

Bartle Hall to the Sprint Center, bringing equal amounts of energy and<br />

faith.<br />

<strong>The</strong> theme was “Christ Reigns,” which was indeed the case when<br />

the event-goers packed 14th Street between the Sprint Center and the<br />

Municipal Auditorium during a eucharistic procession.<br />

Here’s NCYC 2009 by the numbers:<br />

In addition to the <strong>youth</strong>ful attendees, there were 1,300 adult volunteers;<br />

900 crew and staff; 700 exhibits; 60 bands; 33 bishops and<br />

one cardinal. And the Archdiocese of <strong>Kansas</strong> City in <strong>Kansas</strong> — which<br />

co-hosted the event with the Diocese of <strong>Kansas</strong> City-St. Joseph — sent<br />

1,300 <strong>youth</strong>s.<br />

<strong>The</strong> economic impact to the area was approximately $15 million,<br />

but the spiritual impact was even bigger, said Dana Nearmyer, archdiocesan<br />

consultant for evangelization and Catholic formation — <strong>youth</strong>.<br />

Bishop Robert Finn concelebrated Mass with Archbishop Joseph F. Naumann at the closing liturgy on Nov.<br />

<strong>21</strong> in the Sprint Center.<br />

Youth animators — comprised of teens from all <strong>over</strong> the country, including 30 from the Archdiocese of <strong>Kansas</strong> City in <strong>Kansas</strong> — provided their musical and dancing skills<br />

for the closing ceremony at the Sprint Center.<br />

Bob McCarty, director of the National<br />

Federation of Catholic Youth Ministry,<br />

descended from the rafters on opening<br />

night at the Sprint Center to deliver a<br />

message about making a commitment<br />

to God.<br />

Jason Evert brought his popular chastity<br />

seminar “Romance without Regret” to<br />

the main stage on Nov. 20 at the Sprint<br />

Center.<br />

VOLUNTEERS<br />

TECHNOLOGY<br />

Kathy O’Hara, superintendent of archdiocesan Catholic schools, was one of more <strong>than</strong> 1,<strong>000</strong> volunteers who helped make NCYC a reality. O’Hara assisted with traffic duty during the<br />

eucharistic procession through the Power and Light District.<br />

“I love all the people coming together and spending time in fellowship.<br />

I just love seeing everybody<br />

on fire for their faith.”<br />

Katlin Clancy, freshman at Benedictine College, Atchison, and volunteer at the <strong>The</strong>matic Park Sports Experience<br />

Saul Lewis of Bakersfield, Calif., used modern technology to make new friends, inviting people to text him at the convention.<br />

“Jesus is the word,<br />

<strong>The</strong> ultimate<br />

Facebook of God,<br />

and he wants to be your friend.”<br />

It’s no small feat to simultaneously entertain, engage, and supervise <strong>21</strong>,<strong>000</strong><br />

teens. Over 1,<strong>000</strong> volunteers were on hand throughout NCYC to do everything<br />

— sell merchandise, direct traffic, register <strong>youth</strong>, supervise activities,<br />

and help with the liturgies. Some 2,500 adults served as chaperones for the<br />

convention, taking charge of parish and diocesan groups to ensure kids were<br />

safe, fed, and accounted for during the conference.<br />

Bishop Jamie Soto of the Diocese of Sacramento<br />

What’s the big difference between the first<br />

National Catholic Youth Conference<br />

held here in 1997 and this year’s event?<br />

Technology.<br />

In 1997, few teenagers had cell<br />

phones, and nobody tweeted, texted, or surfed with wireless<br />

broadband Internet. Today’s <strong>youth</strong>s are native users<br />

of this technology — something much in evidence at<br />

NCYC 2009.<br />

<strong>The</strong> teens could check out video cameras to contribute<br />

content, send and receive text messages about saints, get<br />

free music downloads and podcasts, access streaming live<br />

video, and more.<br />

People in more <strong>than</strong> 70 countries participated in virtual<br />

pilgrimages by receiving live steaming video through My-<br />

CatholicVoice.com, a Catholic online resource that combines<br />

social networking and digital multimedia content.<br />

“For the pilgrims, it’s not just about information, it’s<br />

about participating,” said Fred Fosnacht, a member of<br />

Prince of Peace Parish in Olathe and founder of My-<br />

CatholicVoice.com.<br />

“For instance,” he continued, “they can text their prayers<br />

of petition that go on the Twitter walls and are actually being<br />

posted outside the eucharistic adoration chapel, so people<br />

who are following that feed can pray for each other.”<br />

What his company is trying to do is find the ways <strong>youth</strong><br />

are connecting through technology — through “rich”<br />

video and audio methods on the Internet.<br />

Kendall Hart (red and black hat), Morgan Eye and Victoria Engeman, all from Montrose, Mo., used some<br />

downtime to catch up on their texting.<br />

Volunteer Jeany Donohue of Holy Spirit Parish in Overland Park made sure all the <strong>youth</strong> have the<br />

proper credentials before entering the convention center hall.<br />

Volunteer Lori O’Brien of Visitation Parish in <strong>Kansas</strong> City, Mo., <strong>took</strong> NCYC<br />

T-shirt orders on Nov. <strong>21</strong>.<br />

THE END<br />

Mayte and Manuel Sandoval from the Archdiocese of <strong>Kansas</strong> City in <strong>Kansas</strong> joined in the<br />

singing and praise at the opening ceremony.<br />

Archdiocesan <strong>youth</strong> danced to the music during the warm-up acts on Nov. 19 at the<br />

Sprint Center.<br />

“<strong>The</strong>y’ll take<br />

the spirit of<br />

this conference<br />

with them”<br />

Father John Lager, OFM Cap., director of vocations for the Capuchin Province of Mid-America<br />

Early in his pontificate, Pope Benedict XVI said, “<strong>The</strong> Church<br />

is young!”<br />

This message truly hit home in the hearts of thousands<br />

of young Catholics at NCYC.<br />

“Usually church is more directed to older people and<br />

their problems, but this is all centered toward us,” said Summer Gernon,<br />

a member of St. Ann Parish in Hiawatha.<br />

When asked what it means to be a Catholic in the <strong>21</strong>st century, the<br />

majority answered along these lines: to follow your faith, to stand up<br />

for your faith, to have Jesus present in your life.<br />

But what will they take away from NCYC?<br />

“<strong>The</strong>y’ll take away a ton,” said Father Mitchel Zimmerman, director<br />

of the archdiocesan vocations office. “This is an experience they<br />

may not think about every day for the rest of their lives, but it will be<br />

an experience that they can always draw back from . . . wherever life<br />

takes them.”<br />

<strong>The</strong> spirit of NCYC is now in them, said Father John Lager, OFM<br />

Cap., director of vocations for the Capuchin Province of Mid-America.<br />

“<strong>The</strong>y’ll take away a sense of community,” he added. “<strong>The</strong>y’ll take<br />

the spirit of this conference with them, knowing that whatever they<br />

face, Christ reigns in their hearts. <strong>The</strong>y’ll take away hope.”<br />

<strong>The</strong> spirit of the conference <strong>took</strong> <strong>over</strong> as <strong>youth</strong> came together for a common cause — being Catholic. <strong>The</strong> National Catholic Youth Conference served to inspire the attendees and<br />

gave them tools to take back to share with their home parishes.<br />
