Steubenville is a dynamic weekend youth conference of community, great Catholic speakers, the Sacraments, and an experience that our Catholic Faith is alive, vibrant, and bigger than just the experience of being at our parish. Thousands of teens from all over the country participate in Steubenville Conferences during the summer, with many locations offered across the US.
We will be attending Steubenville Mid-America Week 2, which is Friday, July 17- Sunday, July 19 at Missouri State in Springfield. We will stop Sunday afternoon at Marianist Retreat Center to take time as a community to rest and reflect on our time at the conference before heading home that evening.
We will depart Friday morning, July 17 and return on Sunday evening, July 19.
The cost for the weekend is $250, which helps to cover:
-Transportation to and from the conference by charter bus
-Housing and meals (Friday Dinner - Sunday Breakfast) for the weekend, as well as dinner at retreat center
-Two Assumption Life Teen Shirts
-Admission to the Conference
We recommend that teens do bring extra spending money for lunch on Friday and any snacks on Sunday, as well as for the bookstore during the conference. Housing is in the college dorms and teens will stay in gender specific dorms, sharing rooms with other youth of the same gender from their parish. Adults of the same gender stay on the same floor with the teens to help supervise, while staying true to Safe Environment regulations. We will have a 1 adult to 8 teen ratio within our group as required by the Archdiocese.
To reserve your Steubenville spot(s), please fill out this registration and complete a $100 deposit or full payment of $250. Online payment with registration is preferred, but this registration can also be submitted without it, with cash or check turned in to the Assumption Parish Office. Checks can be made out to “Assumption Parish.” Final payment is due Sunday, May 3.
No teen is ever turned away from a retreat due to financial need. If you require assistance to attend the retreat, please contact Becky. Assumption Parish very generously supports our youth ministry program in order to make this policy possible!
