The Pope is set to hold a 45-minute digital conversation with thousands of Catholic teenagers across the United States this November.
The event, to be held in Indianapolis, is part of the annual National Catholic Youth Conference (NCYC), which brings together Catholics from across the country for three days of prayer, community, evangelisation and celebration.
Upon receiving the news on August 16, 2025, the National Federation for Catholic Youth Ministry (NFCYM) said it was deeply honoured. In a statement, the federation described it as “a historic moment” that would mark “a powerful opportunity for young people to witness the Universal Church’s care and concern for their voices, experiences and hopes.”
About 15,000 youth aged between 14 and 18 are expected to attend.
