In the meantime, read a few testimonials from teens who have attended previous conferences:

“Steubenville Conferences have had a HUGE impact on my faith life and relationship with Christ. The music, the speakers, mass, confession, Adoration, EVERYTHING! The university campus has such a great feel to it, and everywhere you go and look, it SCREAMS "Catholic!" Thank you so much for keeping such amazing Conferences running, and I hope you continue for other teens who have not yet had an experience with Christ!! God bless!!”
- Youth Participant from Ontario, Canada

“This was my first experience with something of this nature. I had been on retreats before but nothing like this. My son kept telling me that I had to experience it, and he was so right. I have never felt closer to God in my life and I am so glad I was there.”
- Chaperone from Largo, Florida

“This was our first experience - and - WOW. What an awesome experience, very well organized!!!!! Our youth came home different from when they left. Filled with their faith. They created an awesome bondness amongst themselves that, as a youth director, is amazing to see.”
- Group Leader from Boyertown, Pennsylvania

“I wanted to say that I truly enjoyed the whole conference. I am 16, and have never had an experience like this. It was a life changing experience for me, and I only wish it could have been longer.”
- Youth Participant from Worcester, Massachusetts

“Keep up the awesome work in providing teens opportunity to renew, recharge and grow in their Faith experiences! we look forward to next summer!!!”
- Group Leader from Medina, Ohio

“I loved the retreat and it brought me so much closer to God. I never realized how He IS the way to truly have happiness and fulfillment in my life. Thank you.”
- Youth Participant from Ellicott City, Maryland

“I loved coming to the Steubenville conference. It was an amazing and awesome experience for me. I feel I have definately gotten back on the right path with God and will continue to help spread the good news to everyone I meet and tell people about what an awesome God He is.”
- Youth Participant from Parkville, Missouri

“I had an awesome time! There is no way for me to thank you for deepening my relationship with Christ. Even though I was a chaperone, I couldn't help the Spirit moving within me. Thank you and may God bless you and your wonderful ministry!”
- Chaperone from Plainview, Texas

“This was the best experience of my entire fourteen years of life. I ABSLOUTELY LOVED THE PRAISE AND WORSHIP!!! (You take that away and I will freak!) I also really enjoyed the chastity talks. I just think it really builds up self-esteem and gives you courage to cherish yourself especially under pressure. I always used to get bored during Mass, I even fell asleep sometimes, but now I just can't wait till Sunday and I attend adoration every Wednesday. It's just so unbelievable how one weekend changed me so much.”
- Youth Participant from Slidell, Louisiana
