NFCYM and MyCatholicVoice Launch Virtual Pilgrimage for NCYC 2009

The National Federation for Catholic Youth Ministry (NFCYM) and MyCatholicVoice (www.mycatholicvoice.com), the premier online Catholic resource combining social networking and digital multimedia content, today announced the launch of the MyCatholicVoice Virtual Pilgrimage's8482; for NCYC 2009 (Nov. 19-21 in Kansas City, MO).

As the official online resource for the National Catholic Youth Conference (NCYC) 2009, the MyCatholicVoice Virtual Pilgrimage utilizes multimedia content online to help youth, youth ministers, and parents to prepare, deepen and sustain their experience. MyCatholicVoice is working with the leading innovators in ministry, new media, and Internet technologies to deliver meaningful content in the areas of Evangelization, Catechesis, Prayer and Community through the Virtual Pilgrimage.

Appropriately reflected in this year'ss NCYC theme, 'sChrist Reigns: In Us, Among Us, Through Us,'s Catholicism is meant to bring people together in community, for Christ is found in and through community. Today, community is online as well as offline, and the Church is challenged to find new ways to be community and a sacramental presence, said Fred Fosnacht, CEO, MyCatholicVoice. Through the Virtual Pilgrimage, MyCatholicVoice and NCYC have the opportunity to engage participants to connect, explore and share in these new ways.

Extending the energy and spirit of NCYC 2009 beyond the physical event, the MyCatholicVoice Virtual Pilgrimage provides multimedia content and interactive ways which enable youth, ministers and parents to prepare, deepen and sustain their NCYC 2009 experience, said Dr. Robert J. McCarty, executive director, NFCYM. Today, using online outreach through the Virtual Pilgrimage, Twitter, and Facebook, we'sre able to communicate interactively with youth in ways that resonate with them, and help them share their faith, beliefs and experiences.

NCYC invites everyone - youth, youth ministers, parents, both attendees and virtual pilgrims alike -- to join the MyCatholicVoice Virtual Pilgrimage TODAY to begin preparing for NCYC 2009. Visit www.mycatholicvoice.com/ncyc today to join this free online group.
