One of the largest Catholic Youth Conferences, right in our own backyard...
Each summer, Life Teen hosts six different Steubenville Youth Conferences (East, West, NYC, Atlanta, Lone Star, and NorCal) with the hopes of strengthening and inspiring teens and youth groups in their collective journeys to Christ. Evangelistic in nature, these weekend conferences are both
a great “introduction” to the Gospel message for new or younger teens, while
offering deep and moving experiences of prayer and fellowship for even your Youth Group regulars.
Cost: $350, including transportation, onsite housing, and t-shirt. Email Chris to register for this event, a first-ever in our area!
