WHAT IS STEUBENVILLE?
In our ever-changing world, Jesus is the answer to the deepest longings of our hearts for meaning, fulfillment, security, and love.
Steubenville Youth Conferences bring together hundreds of Catholic teens for an unforgettable weekend of encountering Christ through inspiring speakers, praise and worship, Mass, Eucharistic Adoration, small groups, and plenty of fun!
This year, St. Luke is organizing our own parish trip! We're excited to spend the weekend growing closer to Christ while building friendships and community among our students.

COST & FUNDRAISING
We know that the cost of a weekend retreat can add up, especially for families with multiple students attending!
The good news? In previous years, St. Luke's fundraising efforts have covered the entire remaining cost of the trip beyond the initial $150 deposit!
Our goal is to do the same this year, keeping families' out-of-pocket costs to their initial deposits. While fundraising results cannot be guaranteed, we are committed to making this experience affordable for every family.
No student will be turned away due to inability to pay. Please contact Kristen if your family needs financial assistance.

“I thought it was one of the most moving things that I could have experienced, it was truly a life-changing event. The Steubenville Conference has helped me grow closer to God in countless different ways. I got to meet so many new people, share freely and have deep conversations with others my age that share the same faith. I was also able to experience Jesus in Eucharistic Adoration like I never have before; it was truly a moving and standout moment of not only my journey to get closer to God but in my everyday life.”
