Steubenville: I want to take a moment to talk to you parent-to-parent. Parenting is a TOUGH JOB! I think all of us spend hours worrying about our child's physical, social, emotional, and spiritual well-bring. I am sure we all fret about their future: Who will they become? Will they be happy? Are they developing unhealthy habits that they will battle for a lifetime? My family has found that Steubenville Youth Conference has opened channels of communication about faith and about decision-making. It has become a given each summer, and something the kids look forward to as a way to re-encounter the Lord. This year's theme is Worthy and will explore our worth and identity in Christ. If you think your son or daughter would benefit from a weekend with the Lord, a time for prayer, Adoration, Mass, small group discussions, praise and worship, and community, please check out this link (https://youtu.be/tYCzVBQJEoc?si=Sa3_ke7XOsw0Xuyr). We will be attending the Springfield, MO location from July 9-12. The approximate cost will be $400-450 which includes charter bus travel, 1 night at a hotel (July 9), activities on morning of July 10, 2 nights in the dorms (July 10 and 11), the following meals (dinner on July 9; breakfast and dinner on July 10; breakfast, lunch, and dinner on July 11; and breakfast July 12), 3 tee shirts, and conference registration. What is not included in the cost are lunches on our travel days (we brown bag lunch on July 9 and each student buys his/her own fast food on the way home on July 12) and any purchases made at the conference.. A $100 non-refundable deposit will be due on Friday, January 30 with $100 payments each month. All trips must be paid in full by May 1.
