Philadelphia-area teens who attended the National Catholic Youth Conference (NCYC) in Indianapolis last week are sharing their experiences in a series of videos posted by the Archdiocese\u2019s Office for Ministry with Youth.<\/p>\n

The videos feature teens reflecting on their favorite moments from the conference and the historic digital encounter with Pope Leo XIV, who spoke live to 16,000 young people in Indianapolis and thousands more in Philadelphia-area Catholic schools, as well as millions worldwide.<\/p>\n

During the encounter, the pope encouraged youth to trust in Christ, build real relationships, and be peacemakers in their communities.<\/p>\n
