Registration for all of the summer youth conferences is now open and we are getting a tremendous response.  Every year, we are amazed by how many youth are called to share in the blessings of a Franciscan University Summer Youth Conference.

This summer, 18 conferences across the United States and Canada will serve nearly 40,000 teens and their chaperones.  This response is both humbling and exciting.

The charism of a Franciscan University Summer Youth Conference is making Christ real for a generation of young Catholics.  Every fall, we read email after email from teens and leaders talking about how Christ came alive in their hearts through their experience at a conference.  Every year, we meet priests and religious who first heard the call to their vocation a Steubenville conference.

If you have never attended a youth conference, you may be wondering what they are like or how you could attend a conference.  If so, please feel free to contact the youth outreach office with any of your questions.  In addition to our wonderful staff, our Regional Conference Organizers are ready and more than able to serve you in any need you may have.

Thank you for all you are doing to serve the young Church.  While the conferences are filling fast, it is not too late to get involved with one of our 18 amazing conferences.  If there is anything we can do to serve you, please do not hesitate to ask.  Peace.
