The Archdiocesan Youth Conference (AYC) is an annual gathering of Catholic youth in the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston. AYC provides young Catholics an opportunity to encounter the Love of Jesus Christ in powerful and life changing ways through the sacraments, prayer, community, and inspiring talks from keynote speakers and workshop presenters.

This event is sponsored by the Archdiocesan Office of Adolescent Catechesis and Evangelization. The theme, talks, workshops, and prayer experiences are developed by members of the Archdiocesan Youth Council serving on the AYC committee.

Peace Be with You All

(Urbi et Orbi, Pope Leo XIV, May 8, 2025 - First words of Pope Leo XIV)

Peace be with you all! 

Dear brothers and sisters, these are the first words spoken by the risen Christ, the Good Shepherd who laid down his life for God’s flock. I would like this greeting of peace to resound in your hearts, in your families, among all people, wherever they may be, in every nation and throughout the world. Peace be with you!
