As a part of the outreach efforts of Franciscan University of Steubenville, Ohio, the Steubenville Summer Youth Conferences provide a unique opportunity to gather with teens from across the nation in Catholic community. The conference combines awesome talks, incredible music, praise and worship, time for prayer and fellowship, entertainment and liturgies. Since 1976, Franciscan University has sponsored youth conferences across the United States. This year, there will be 21 different conferences held throughout the United States and Canada that will host over 36,000 young people.  The Diocese of Richmond & St. Michael Catholic Church will attend the Steubenville Atlanta Youth Conference this year, which is co-sponsored by Life Teen.

As a group, the Diocese of Richmond arrives a day early (Thursday, July 6th) from the start of the actual conference.  We spend Thursday doing some sightseeing and activites together as a diocese before the formal start of the conference on Friday.  Getting there a day early allows for us to make the full drive and get a full night's sleep before the conference starts!
