A group of teens will speak with the Holy Father during a digital encounter at the upcoming National Catholic Youth Conference (NCYC) in Indianapolis.

Pope Leo XIV will hold a 45-minute digital dialogue with young people from across the United States during the Nov. 20–22 NCYC, hosted by the National Federation for Catholic Youth Ministry (NFCYM). The pope will speak at 10:15 a.m. ET on Nov. 21 and answer questions from a group of high school students.

This marks the first time in history that a pope will directly engage with U.S. youth in a live digital encounter. Eight teens have had the opportunity to participate in planning the digital conversation, and five of them will get the chance to speak directly with the Holy Father.
