Additional Information:

In an era where the digital and spiritual life intersect, Pope Leo XIV is breaking new ground by engaging with young people in the U.S. in what is being called a digital dialogue. Pope Leo XIV will participate in a 45-minute real-time dialogue with young people gathered at a conference at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis and with thousands more joining from around the U.S. via livestream. The Holy Father will listen and respond as young people share their hopes, struggles, and faith. It’s a moment that says to every young person: your voice matters. More than 30 young people have already helped shape the themes of this dialogue—exploring questions of faith, vocation, mental health, and the future of the Church.
