Steven shares highlights from his recent trip to the National Catholic Youth Conference, where he accompanied a group of Andrean students along with teens connected to Our Lady Queen of Martyrs. Over three powerful days, thousands of high schoolers gathered to hear inspiring keynote speakers, worship together, and deepen their commitment as disciples of Jesus.Fr. Steven reflects on the profound moments of adoration at NCYC and talks about how the spiritual fire the teens experienced doesn’t have to fade once they return to their normal routines. He and Dad discuss how young people can nurture that spark of faith in everyday life. This year’s conference also featured a special, planned livestream appearance by Pope Leo, who answered questions from teenagers and offered words of encouragement—an unforgettable moment of connection for everyone present.
