WHY SHOULD A TEEN COME?

One of St. Augustine’s most famous quotes is, “Our hearts are restless until they rest in you, O Lord.” These words often describe the spiritual angst that teenagers experience throughout their high school years. Every teen has the desire to belong. This weekend will help bring teens to life changing encounters with Jesus as they experience amazing speakers giving witness talks, praise and worship music, Adoration, high energy Masses, the sacrament of reconciliation, small group discussion, fellowship with other Catholic teens and MORE!

Between all the extracurricular commitments and academic obligations, it can seem nearly impossible to make faith a priority for teens. A Steubenville Conference often can give teens the spiritual boost they need.

Plus, our Steubenville trip team forms special bonds during the weekend and new friendships are formed when they return to St. A’s!

THE SCOOP: We leave on Friday, July 26 about 12 noon and travel by cars to Springfield, MA. We return Sunday, July 28 late afternoon. This year’s conference is being held at the Mass Mutual Center and we will be staying at Elms College. The cost to attend is $375 and includes conference registration, transportation via cars, lodging, a t-shirt and meals (Dinner Friday, Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner Saturday, Continental Breakfast Sunday). Your teen will be supervised by our virtus adult chaperones. We have limited spots available and they are first, come, first serve. Questions? Reach out to Chris Otis at 203-652-1154 or via email at youth@starcc.com.

Teens ... A little spiritual advice

Romans 12:1-2 calls us to daily transformation of our minds so we can know and live out God’s will for us. “I urge you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God, your spiritual worship. Do not conform yourselves to this age but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and pleasing and perfect.”

Perhaps you will ask for God’s help to:
Come to Mass EVERY Sunday

  • Attend 5pm Teen Mass with contemporary praise & worship band music and a “student section”
  • Participate in monetary stewardship. Every Sunday bring cash to put into the basket … give up something for the week and give what you would have spent on it to GOD!

Consider attending Daily Mass once-a-week or even just once-a-month
