Steubenville Youth Conferences Testimonials
Each day for me was like God was exposing a problem in the way I was living my life, and then healing it.

I felt so relieved and free from all my sin. I felt like the weight of the world was lifted off of my shoulders. I felt the Holy Spirit in my soul. It was something I had never felt before in my life.

All I wanted was for God to show me that He loved me and He did, very clearly, at Saturday night Adoration during the procession. It was one of the most beautiful things I've ever experienced and I can't wait to become "Rooted in Christ" next year!

I used to think I had a good relationship with God and Jesus. The conference really opened my eyes and allowed me to see how much closer I could be to him. It forced me to realize that I was not letting God in all the way because I was scared of where he would lead me. Adorations and talks helped me strengthen my relationship with Jesus so that I can now live a better life.

— Priest
The talks were engaging, relevant, and my youth really enjoyed them. Steubenville is an example of what's right with the Church. The Sacraments are central and it really showed at this conference.

Once again I saw s break down their barriers and be open to Christ. I greatly appreciated the extra focus on confession throughout the weekend. Several of my teens were able to feel they have started on a new path.

I had an amazing experience with God and he completely changed my outlook on how I was living my life. I think adoration on Saturday night is the most beautiful and probably intense thing I have ever experienced. – I thought everything was amazing!! Being able to sing praises to Jesus with 2000 people was the best part! :)

The energy of all the teens was crazy awesome and inspiring. The speakers were funny and knowledgeable. The love of Chirst and the presense of the Holy Spirit was so evident there.
— Youth Minister
The speakers and workshops were great, but the best part of the trip was definitely adoration. The music was better than I expected; so much that I can't stop singing them.
— Teen
I didn't want to go. But after listening for about 12 hours of the conference, I realized that I had let life cover up my love for the Lord. Even though I was their as a support cast, the words washed over me and made me better!
— Adult Leader
One huge thing I learned that affects me is how we should Let HIS will be done and pray for strength to lovingly and willingly except his plans whether it be a big thing such as vocations, or just in our every day life. I firmly believe He will give us our daily bread and all we can really do is trust in Him completely.
— Teen
What I found to be the best part was the fact that the weekend wasn't just about God and me, but it was about God in everything I do. I came back home knowing there was a change in my heart.
