Summer Activities for Students |
|
Since the inception of our LifeTeen program in January 2000, our church parish has been blessed to send approximately 125 high school students and LifeTeen core members to Steubenville conferences each summer! Beginning on Friday evening and ending on Sunday at noon, the conference features plenty of music, dynamic guest speakers in national youth ministry organizations, Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, and the celebration of Holy Mass each day. Although the teens and core members attend Mass on Sunday morning at the conference, they are "on fire for the Holy Spirit" as they return home just in time to settle in for LifeTeen Mass. Friends and family members are always welcome to join us at LifeTeen Mass where we often hear brief testimonies offered by the teens as part of Fr. Wayne's homily on that Sunday.
As with our LifeNights, high school students of any faith denomination are welcome to attend this Catholic conference, but everyone, including chaperones, must sign up in advance. The conference fee is paid in three installments over a period of several months. Of course, finances should never stop a student from attending this conference. When necessary, students should speak with our LifeTeen director who is often in touch with parishioners who want to help teenagers attend this Spirit-filled conference. |
