Khloe Duneske '27 Inspires at NCYC

Khloe Duneske ’27 was invited to speak at the National Catholic Youth Conference (NCYC) 2025 in Indianapolis as part of Marian University’s Preach All Ways initiative. Khloe was one of only seven high school students nationwide selected to offer a personal testimony during NCYC breakout sessions, a remarkable honor and a powerful recognition of her leadership and faith!

Speaking before an audience of nearly 1,000 teens, Khloe shared how her relationship with the Virgin Mary has shaped her spiritual journey and helped her grow in courage, clarity, and trust in God’s plan. Her message was rooted in honesty and strength, and she stepped forward with a humility that reflected her deep desire to follow Christ’s call.

We are so proud of Khloe for sharing her voice, her faith, and her heart with the Church in such an inspiring way. She is a shining reminder of what it means to be a Mercy woman: compelled by faith, courageous in spirit, and a light to others.
