For the past 40 years, high school youth from across the United States have had their faith awakened and their hearts set on fire through a personal encounter with Jesus at a Steubenville Conference. This summer, over 54,000 teens and their leaders will be a part of this movement of grace at one of the 25 conferences.

My experience at Steubenville was quite amazing. Sharing a devotion to Christ with a passionate group of young people such as myself was so reviving. Steubenville gave me a strong connection to my faith. I hope more kids will get involved with these conferences, as they are truly powerful and beautiful.— Tonna Schneider
My experience at the Steubenville Conference was amazing. The talks that the speakers gave and Eucharistic Adoration was most meaningful for me. Attending this conference really strengthened my faith and helped me improve my relationship with God. I would tell a friend that the conference was very different than I thought it would be. At the conference we sang, danced, listened to speakers, and went to Mass and Eucharistic Adoration. I would definitely recommend this conference to other people. I wasn’t very excited for the conference at first, but it completely changed my faith and everyone should do it!— Grace Odell
I wish that I could convey what this conference did for my daughter and what God brought TO HER. Hopefully you saw it in her too that weekend. When I picked her up on Saturday evening, I swear that she was glowing! She was up until nearly midnight sharing what she had heard, felt and experienced on Friday and Saturday. Sunday morning she was up and ready to go by 7:00 AM! Before the conference she was filled with anxiety and definitely not looking forward to attending a “Jesus class”. She was literally in tears—‘What will we do? I don’t know anyone. Who will I sit with? We have to do Reconciliation AND Adoration?’ All of her anxieties were washed away and I believe, because she told me so, that she is stronger in her faith and feels a deeper connection to Jesus as a result of these 3 days. To say this was life-changing for her is NOT an overstatement. I pray and I believe that this weekend will change her life forever.— a mother of a past participant
I have been a Group Leader for the past four years and plan to continue. Seeing high schoolers “rush the stage” to dance and sing praise and worship music is so powerful! As a church, we are always looking for new and exciting ways to engage our youth in their faith; and Steubenville is it! I am passionate about showing teens how exciting our faith can be and that it doesn’t have to be boring!!— Lisa Jessen, Group Leader
