• It was an encounter with the Holy Father like no one has seen before, and students at St. Louis Catholic High School watched as history-in-the-making unfolded before their eyes.

      The first-ever live digital dialogue between Pope Leo XIV and U.S. Catholic teenagers occurred on November 21. The unprecedented visit, lasting nearly an hour, took place during the National Catholic Youth Conference (NCYC) at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.

      While some high school students from the Diocese of Lake Charles were among the 16,000 attending the three-day conference, students on the campus of St. Louis in Lake Charles were connected in more ways than one. Moderator for the historic event was SLCHS alumna, Katie Prejean McGrady (Class of 2007).
