Steubenville Youth Conference

Thirty years ago, 500 youth and young adults gathered on the campus of Franciscan University in Steubenville, Ohio for the very first youth conference.  Each summer, over 40,000 teens will participate at 18 youth conferences all over North America.   These youth conferences not only provide teens the opportunity to encounter Jesus Christ, but challenge them to live for Him.  Through the power of the Sacraments, inspiring talks, dynamic music and meeting hundreds of other Catholic students from around the country, teens are given an awesome weekend that can literally change the course of their lives.  This weekend-long conference will also be paired with a 2-day excursion to the Windermere Campgrounds and Conference Center on the Lake of the Ozarks for community building through awesome activities like high ropes, paintball, canoeing, an aqua park on the lake, mini golf, hiking trails, fishing, basketball, and more!   

Chaperones
If you would be interested and available to be a chaperone for one of these trips we would love to have you!  These trips are not possible without chaperone help.  While it is an awesome way to build the faith of your teen, it is also a great way to build your own faith.  Chaperone spots are paid for by the parish.  Let us know if you would like more details about this opportunity.
