Pope Leo XIV receives Jesus Youth International Conference 2026

First source report

Catholic IntelligenceUpdated 1 min read

Pope Leo XIV received participants of the Jesus Youth International Conference 2026 in an audience at the Paul VI Hall on Saturday, October 24. The meeting included delegates from various global groups, bishops, priests, and consecrated men and women.

This was the first time the Jesus Youth movement met with the Pope. The participants gathered to reflect on the movement's direction forty years after its founding in Kerala, India. The Pope noted that the group has spent the last three years conducting a consultation in a synodal style to determine how to apply the results of their reflection to their future journey.

The movement began as part of the Charismatic Renewal through the spontaneous initiative of young people. The Pope encouraged the members to maintain their youthful freshness and enthusiasm for the faith to help others encounter the Lord.
