Our next retreat is scheduled for March 9-11, Steubenville The Steubenville Youth Conference is open to all Catholic teens in 8th- 12th grades as of Fall We live in a world where there are voices shouting at us from all sides, trying to tell us who we are and who we aren t, who we should be and who we shouldn t be. If we pay too much attention to these voices, it won t be long before we forget our true identity altogether. But amidst all the noise is our loving Father, who wants to make Himself known to us and speak truth about who we are. God s love is deeper and His plan for our lives is greater than anything the world has to offer will we allow Him to reveal it to us? This summer, over 50,000 Catholic teens across North America will participate in 25 Steubenville Youth Conferences, and we want you to be one of them! Come experience the love of God in a new and more profound way. He has so much in store for you. We will attend the conference on June 15-17, Registrations are now open.
