The Steubenville Youth Conferences, an outreach of Franciscan University of Steubenville, are a series of 24 conferences across North America that help teens encounter the love of Christ. Each summer, Life Teen hosts several Steubenville Youth Conferences with the hopes of strengthening and inspiring teens and youth groups in their collective journeys to Christ.

Steubenville East will take place July 21-23, 2023 at The MassMutual Center in Springfield MA.  This conference is for youth entering 9th grade up to and including newly graduated seniors (age 18).  All attendees must be part of a parish group. Individuals are unable.
This year we will be joining with all Westfield Catholic Churches to attend as a group.

The cost covers transportation, entry into the conference, t-shirts, cinch backpack, and all food and snacks. Robin Jensen will be organizing these students: [email protected]
