We invite all HS teens from St. Catherine of Siena, St. Mary's and St. Therese to join us for the Steubenville East Youth Conference. This is a dynamic, energetic, and powerful faith weekend event for students entering 9th grade through 12th grade. The conference organizers are trained in youth ministry and have developed a program format that reaches teens at their level. The venue provides a concert-like environment that facilitates a high energy experience. The program includes live music, trained speakers, Mass, Eucharist Adoration, and the opportunity for teens to partake of the sacrament of Reconciliation. We hope you will join us this year!
