What is it?
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 teenagers 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 summer, over 50,000 Catholic teens across North America will attend one of 25 Steubenville Youth Conferences to encounter the God who calls us His sons and daughters. Come and experience His overwhelming love for you. You belong here. At some conferences, Franciscan University partners with other Catholic youth organizations to host the conference. The Diocese of Richmond, including St. Michael Parish, will attend the Steubenville Atlanta Youth Conference, which is co-sponsored by Life Teen, Inc.

As a group, the Diocese of Richmond arrives a day early (Thursday, July 11th) from the start of the actual conference. We spend Friday daytime doing some sightseeing and activites, as well as attending Mass, together as a diocese before the formal start of the conference on Friday evening. Getting there a day early allows for us to make the full drive on Thursday and get a full night's sleep before the conference starts!

When & Where?
The Steubenville Atlanta Youth Conference will be held on Thursday, July 11 through Sunday, July 14, 2019 at the Infinate Energy Center (6400 Sugarloaf Parkway; Duluth, GA 30097).
All participants will be housed at hotels located near the Infinite Energy Center. Depending on registration and room availability, lodging is subject to change.
 
How do we get there?
We will be traveling by coach buses together with other parishes within the Richmond Diocese.  The regional bus will leave from a parish in the Richmond area (usually St. Edward the Confessor) on Thursday morning on July 11th. The bus trip is about 8-10 hours in length. We will arrive back late Sunday night to the same parish meeting point from which we departed. More specific details will be available in late June/early July for those attending.

In order to receive the St. Michael rate and participate in the trip, participants must partake in all aspects of the trip. For liability reasons, participants cannot opt to ride separately or stay in other accommodations and still be considered part of the diocesan/parish experience.
