July 11th – 15th

Steubenville is a powerful Catholic youth conference for current 8th graders through 12th graders that brings together thousands of teens from all over the country for a weekend of inspiring talks, dynamic worship, and fun activities. It’s a chance for your teen to encounter Christ in a deep and personal way, connect with other teens who share their faith, and experience the joy and energy of the Catholic community.

June 1st – August 1st

Join our Summer Missionary Program and help cultivate an environment where teens feel welcomed, supported, and inspired. You’ll have the opportunity to influence young lives, share your faith, and be a positive role model while making a lasting impact on their spiritual growth. If you’re ready to grow in your own faith and help others do the same, we want to here from you!

Hi all, I'm Derek! I was born and raised on a farm in the small town of LeMars, Iowa. I've adjusted to life in the big city just fine (although the traffic does still get to me sometimes). I have been very blessed to have my Catholic faith be a large part of my life from youth and I'm excited to share the person of Christ with everyone I can! I could yammer on about myself forever if given the opportunity. Rather than that though, swing by one of our events, introduce yourself, and I'll talk your ears off!

Hi! I'm Mary Beth! I am from Topeka, KS. I graduated from Kansas State University (Go Cats')! I love baking, dancing, making coffee, and trying to things! I love to travel! My most recent trip was to the UK and that was so much fun!

Be strong and courageous; do not be afraid, nor lose heart; for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.

Joshua 1:9
