Steubenville
Steubenville is a high-energy youth conference in which teens encounter Jesus through dynamic speakers, amazing worship music, the Sacraments, Mass, reconciliation, small group discussion and fellowship with other teens! These teens will return from this trip stronger in the faith, clearer about their future as Christians, and even more prepared to live as a follower of Christ!
