If you are looking for an opportunity to renew yourself this conference is an excellent opportunity to do just that! The Riviera Hotel in Las Vegas is the site of this 4-day event.  With inspiring keynote speakers, informative workshops, spirit-filled worship, the Catholic Youth Ministry Resource Expo, loads of fun and bright lights to boot! Best of all, this conference is by adults, for adults, and will strengthen your personal spirituality, your professional competence, and your church’s ministry with young people.

There are hundreds of shows and productions offered each evening throughout the city of Las Vegas.  NFCYM has created a program that includes numerous recommendations from the Diocese of Las Vegas for healthy and family-friendly shows and performances during available free time.

The Office of Youth Ministry encourages youth directors and those adults working with teens to participate in the NCCYM if all possible.  The Desert Shall Bloom will be held the week of November 30 - December 3, 2006 at the Riviera Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.  The NCCYM early registration date is Friday, October 6.
