What is it?
As a part of the outreach efforts of Franciscan University of Steubenville, Ohio, the Steubenville Summer Youth Conferences provide a unique opportunity to gather with teens from across the nation in Catholic community. The conference combines awesome talks, incredible music, praise and worship, time for prayer and fellowship, entertainment and liturgies. Since 1976, Franciscan University has sponsored youth conferences across the United States. This summer, over 50,000 Catholic teens across North America will attend one of 16 Steubenville Youth Conferences to encounter the God who calls us His sons and daughters. Come and experience His overwhelming love for you. You belong here. We can't wait for you to join us on this weekend!

Who is it for?
The Steubenville Conference trip is open to all high school-aged youth, spanning from rising 9th graders through graduated 12th graders!

When & Where?
The Steubenville Youth Conference will be held on Friday, July 11th through Sunday, July 13th, 2025 at Gas South Arena. Our group plans to arrive on Thursday, July 10th, 2025 as a group with St. Edward the Confessor, Richmond and St. Gregory the Great, Virginia Beach.
  
All youth and adult participants will be housed at the Courtyard Atlanta Duluth/Gwinnett Place located about 10 minutes from Gas South Arena.
  
Travel, Lodging, & Food
We plan to travel by bus to Atlanta, Georgia, which is approximately an eight hour drive. Teens will be housed in the Courtyard hotel by gender with 2-4 teens per dorm room. Teens will primarily be with teens from St. Michael, but may be mixed up with a teen from St. Edward or St. Gregory based on odd numbers and room configurations. We ask that you refrain from making room requests. The puzzle of rooming over 50 people is already daunting enough. We will try to honor some known friendships where possible. They will also make new friends! Meals and snacks will be served at the conference, but teens should bring money for lunches on the drive both Thursday and Sunday.

Our group will leave from St. Edward, Richmond, at 10:00am on Thursday, July 10th and would return back to St. Edward around 10:00pm on Sunday, July 13th. Specific details on departure on July 10th will follow once finalized.

In order to receive the St. Michael rate and participate in this trip, participants must partake in all aspects of the trip. For liability reasons, participants cannot opt to ride separately or stay in other accommodations and still be considered part of this parish group experience.
