Convened on this Year of the Clergy and Consecrated Persons and looking forward to
the Year of the Youth, the National Youth Coordinating Council 2018 will serve as a
venue for youth ministers coordinating and representing their respective Regional
Youth Coordinating Councils to strengthen their commitment as servant-leaders, called
and chosen by Christ and striving to closely follow His example, and to review how
youth ministries are participating in the ongoing novena of the Philippine Catholic
Church towards 2021, the 500th anniversary of the Catholic faith in our country.
“To promote adequate representation and collaboration of youth ministers, the ECY
created the National Youth Coordinating Council in 1984. Meetings of the council are
held annually. When convened, it functions as the advisory body of the ECY, and serves
as a clearinghouse of all youth activities, programs and resources.
The NYCC serves to identify youth ministry concerns that need to be brought to the
attention of the ECY. These concerns may come from their own region or may be
identified as a national concern. It also proposes definite plans of action and/or
resolutions that address these concerns concretely and accordingly. Then, it submits
these plans of actions or resolutions to the ECY for its further study and approval or
disapproval.” (KA-LAKBAY, p. 164)
1. Present the ECY decisions to the NYCC2017 Resolutions, and revisit or initially
map the implementation
2. Gather the support of all the RYCCs in coordinating and implementing the 2019
Year of the Youth programs and in spearheading and monitoring other related
and relevant initiatives—both in their respective regions
3. Strengthen the coordination ad intra and ad extra of each RYCC, especially in
relation to the national network of youth ministries, towards a sustained
experience of communion in mission.
General Program
To form the NYCC, the Episcopal Commission on Youth invites the Regional Youth
Director (RYD), Regional Youth Coordinator (RYC) and Regional Youth Leader (RYL)

6. TRANSPORTATION
Through the invited youth ministers, the ECY makes an appeal to their respective
Bishops for assistance in covering the transportation expenses.
On its part, the ECY will subsidize ten percent (10%) of the transportation expenses of
each official participant, provided that an official receipt is made available by the
official participant to the ECY Secretariat during reception.
7. DRESS CODE
Throughout the meeting, everyone is enjoined to wear suitable and comfortable attire
(i.e. business casual-relaxed, smart casual).
Contents may be changed. There may also be further information. These will be
communicated by the ECY to those concerned by email. The ECY therefore asks
everyone invited to regularly check their email, and to send by email any NYCC-related
concern they may have.
The animation of the meeting (i.e. liturgies, icebreakers, etc.) will be a shared endeavor
with the participating RYCCs. Each RYCC is therefore invited to be ready and willing
to take on several tasks during the meeting.
