Pope Leo XIV is expected to address the up to 15,000 registered young people ages 14-18 from Catholic youth movements across the United States during a 45-minute live dialogue.

The Holy See Press Office and the National Federation for Catholic Youth Ministry (NFCYM) made the announcement on the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, as to “entrust the event to the Blessed Mother.”
