In an era where the digital and spiritual life intersect, Pope Leo XIV broke new ground by engaging directly with young people at the National Catholic Youth Conference (NCYC).
The historic Digital Encounter took place on Friday, November 21, 2025, at 10:15 am ET during NCYC’s morning general session. Our Holy Father participated in a 45-minute real-time dialogue with young people gathered at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis and with thousands more joining from around the world via livestream.
In this spirit of hope, we invite you to join us in commemorating the significant milestone of 43 years of our organization’s history and service. Whether it’s $4, $43, or even $300, every gift makes a difference!
Join the celebration and help continue inspiring the next generation of Catholic leaders.
