St. Michael Church

The Steubenville Youth Conference is a three-day experience consisting of music, keynote speakers, small group time, breakout sessions, Mass, Eucharistic Adoration, fellowship, and fun! The majority of the conference takes place in a large-group setting, but teens will also spend time in small groups of 7-8 people of the same gender with at least one adult leader.  Some groups may also have a high school-aged junior leader. Youth participating with their parish youth ministry will meet in small groups together.  If youth are not participating with a parish, they will be placed in a small group with youth from other area parishes. Cost:  $270 per person (youth and adult leaders) Includes conference registration fee, dorm housing, meals, transportation, and group t-shirt Priests and religious attend for free Hubs Parish groups and individual teens will attend from three main hubs, which also serve as the locations for bus departure: Columbus Coordinator:  Brenna Prem, bprem@esu7.org or 402-564-7451 Norfolk Coordinator:  Marilyn Kathol, marilynkathol@sacredheartnorfolk.com or 402-371-2621 Omaha Coordinator:  Beth Carlson, bccarlson@archomaha.org or 402-557-5610 Parish Group Registration Teens should register through their parish if the parish is taking a group.
