What is it?
ICYC is a yearly extravaganza put on for Catholic teens by our diocese, the Diocese of Boise. ICYC stands for Idaho Catholic Youth Conference. It is a wonderful opportunity for teens to experience a bit of the vastness of the Catholic Church. Through dynamic speakers, moving worship, powerful testimonies, and joining a community of believers, the teens grow closer to Christ and His Holy Church. This is an opportunity few get to experience after graduation. It changes lives.

Who is it for?
ICYC is for teens grades 9-12. No matter where a teen is in their spiritual journey--just dipping their toes into Catholicism, battling with the existence of God, or even ready to run away to a convent/monastery (though if they're searching for silence, it may be a bit loud)--a teen will have an experience they will never forget. Where is it?
ICYC 2018 Endless Joy. Our parish's teens travel to the Idaho Center by bus for the opening evening, and then to hotels (one for boys, another for girls) for two nights. The Diocese then buses our teens from their hotels to the Idaho Center and back again. When can I sign up?
Registrations can be found at the parish office. They are due January 28th. |

ICYC LETTER TO THE PARENTS
Dear parents and students,
ICYC is around the corner and there are some things you need to know:
The bus will pick up students in Glenns Ferry at 3:00pm in front of the school and will head to Mountain Home right after. Mountain Home students should be ready to go by 3:30pm at the Parish parking lot. The bus will leave Our Lady of Good Counsel at 4:00pm sharp! Please have your students in their designated stops on time!! ALL students NEED to ride the bus. There will be absolutely no student drivers!
We are expecting the students to arrive at Idaho Ford Center by 5:30pm (allowing time for traffic). The students and their luggage will be dropped off at the Idaho Ford Center and there will be different buses in the afternoon to take the students to their designated hotels.
Students need to pack lightly. It's only three days, so there is no need to over pack. The registration fee covers the registration, hotel, busing, and food. You are more than welcome to send your student with extra money if they would like to purchase anything at the event center, but extra money is not required.
I do recommend the students take a water bottle and snacks. Although meals are provided, the weekend is a long one, and they do tend to get hungry. I also recommend that they dress comfortably. We will be having Mass with Bishop Christensen (Diocese of Boise) and Bishop Liam Cary (Diocese of Baker) on Sunday. Students are more than welcome to dress in their Sunday's best for Mass. Parents, family, friends, and parishioners are also more than welcome for Mass on Sunday at 11:00am. If you would like to attend Mass in Nampa, you are more than welcome to pick up your student after that and not have them ride the bus.
The bus is expected to pick up the students on Sunday around 12:30pm and should be back to Mountain Home at 1:30pm. Once the students from OLGC are dropped off there, the rest of the students will be dropped off at Glenns Ferry around 2:00pm.
NO DRUGS, ALCOHOL, OR WEAPONS ARE ALLOWED. If any situation arises where a student is found with any of these items, my first call will be to the police, and my second call will be to the parents. All students must remain at the event center during the day, and at the hotel at night. If a student leaves the event center, my first call will be to the police to file a report for a missing minor, and my second call will be to the parents. Our priority is to keep our students safe, and for them to get the best out of this experience.
If you have any questions or concerns feel free to contact me at the office or via email.
Sincerely,
Martha Santos
CARTA A LOS PADRES DE FAMILIA SOBRE ICYC
Estimados padres y estudiantes,
ICYC es la próxima semana, y hay unas cosas que tienen que saber:
El camión recogerá a los estudiantes de Glenns Ferry a las 3 de la tarde en frente de la escuela y saldrá hacia Mountain Home inmediatamente después. Los estudiantes de Mountain Home tienen que estar listos para salir a las 3:30 de la tarde en el parqueadero de la iglesia. El camión saldrá a las 4:00pm en punto! Favor de ser puntuales. TODOS los estudiantes TIENEN que ir en el camión. No se permitirá que manejen los estudiantes.
Tenemos pautado que los estudiantes lleguen al Idaho Ford Center a las 5:30pm (estimando el tráfico). Los estudiantes y sus maletas se quedaran en el Idaho Ford Center hasta que los camiones los lleve a sus hoteles designados en la noche.
Solo se permitirá una maleta pequeña por estudiante. Solo son tres días, no hay necesidad de empacar de más. El pago de ICYC cubre la registración, el hotel, los camiones, y la comida. Pueden mandar a sus estudiantes con un poco de dinero, si les gustaría comprar algo en el evento, pero no es necesario
Recomendamos que los estudiantes lleven una botella de agua y unos bocadillos. Aunque se les dará comida en la conferencia, el fin de semana es largo y los estudiantes terminan con hambre. También recomendamos que los estudiantes usen ropa cómoda. Tendremos Misa con el Obispo Christensen (Diócesis de Boise) y con el Obispo Cary (Diócesis de Baker) el domingo. Favor de mandar a los estudiantes con ropa apropiada para Misa con los obispos. La Misa será a las 11am y todos están invitados. Si les gustaría asistir a Misa, pueden recoger a los estudiantes inmediatamente después.
El camión recogerá a los estudiantes después de Misa a las 12:30 el domingo, y estarán de regreso en Mountain Home alrededor de la 1:30 de la tarde. Ya que los estudiantes de Mountain Home estén de regreso, el camión saldrá a Glenns Ferry y llegara alrededor de las 2 de la tarde.
NO SE PERMITIRAN DROGAS, ALCOHOL, O ARMAS. Si alguno de los estudiantes se encuentra con cualquiera de esas tres cosas, mi primera llamada será a las autoridades, y mi segunda llamada será a los padres de familia. Los estudiantes tienen que permanecer en la conferencia durante el día, y en el hotel durante la noche. Si algún estudiante se va de la conferencia o del hotel, mi primera llamada será a las autoridades para reportar a un estudiante desaparecido, y me segunda llamada será a los padres de familia. Nuestra prioridad es la seguridad de los estudiantes y que ellos tengan la mejor experiencia en la conferencia. Si tienen alguna pregunta o preocupación, favor de llamarme a la oficina, y contactarme por correo electrónico.
Gracias,
Martha Santos
