What IS a Steubenville Youth Conference?

A life-changing encounter with Christ…

  • Experience the peace of Jesus Christ through inspiring talks, praise and worship, and the sacraments
  • Connect with hundreds of other Catholic teens
  • Return home with memories that will last a lifetime, knowing that you are never alone

The weekend is filled with prayer, learning, fun, Mass, Adoration, small groups, and Reconciliation. Those who attend this weekend respond by bringing friends to Mass and other spiritual events. They experience a deeper love and awareness of Jesus in their lives. They begin sharing their faith with their peers.

All rising freshmen in high school through rising freshmen in college are invited to attend this retreat with our group.

Youth from our parish, nearby parishes, and across the Diocese of Scranton join almost 2,000 Catholic teens at Steubenville annually to experience the peace of Jesus Christ, who is always faithful and will never abandon us.
