Holy Fire is a national Catholic one-day experience for middle school youth, developed in collaboration with a host diocese and nearby regions. Its mission is to set young people ablaze with the love of Christ and to inspire them to live as disciples of Jesus Christ in the world.

Holy Fire features the same level of catechesis, prayer, and quality production that have become hallmarks of the NFCYM’s National Catholic Youth Conference and complements parish faith formation programs and Catholic school curriculum.
