STEUBENVILLE EAST - Youth Conference - July 13-15, 2018
 

“This was a very uplifting experience for me especially during
the adoration when I could feel the presence of God”

“ Steubenville East was a pleasant experience where my faith
was given new strength. It also was like a “detox” from the
world and left me feeling happiness and energy to take on
my everyday life with greater confidence”.

“I went into it thinking I was wasting my weekend, turns out
it was one of the best weekends of my life.”
“It was life-changing.”

“The talks were amazing and very inspirational. If you're
going through a rough time, they talked about how to
understand it, get through it and ultimately find happiness."

“Connected me to God in a way unimaginable for most people.”

“An experience I will never forget, especially Reconciliation.”

“Even though I was really tired and Saturday was a very long day it
was still an amazing experience that I enjoyed very much.”

“My mom has wanted me to attend Steubenville East for the
last couple of years but I never thought it would be
something I would enjoy. I went this year and was surprised
at how much fun I had and what a great experience it was.”

“Never thought I would feel and experience Jesus the way I did
during the adoration on Saturday night, 100% would recommend!”

“As a parent who is trying to pass on the faith to her
children, I could not have been happier with her spiritual
growth from her experience over the weekend!”

“This is one of the best weekends of my life!”

STEUBENVILLE EAST - Youth Conference - July 14-16, 2017

“The Steubenville East Conference this year changed my life. When it first started I felt like I didn't really belong. All of the other teens were so involved in their faith and I wanted to be, but there was something missing. I went through Friday and Saturday and although the speakers and sessions were great there still felt like a part was missing. However when Adoration came on Saturday night it completely changed me. When the Monstrance was walked around the whole arena and I came within feet of Jesus Christ himself it was such an inspirational and amazing feeling that I broke into tears. From that night on I was able to make sure my sins do not define me and I can truly be involved in my faith. Being with over 3,000 teens who are your brothers and sisters and witnessing Jesus right before you, will change you.”

“This has been my second year being a chaperone at Steubenville and I have been blessed to be able to go these last two years. To be able to see not only the teens from ICC but from all over New England experience Christ is amazing. To have almost 3000 teens in one place all excited about their religion is awe inspiring. I can say first hand from my experiences that my faith is stronger and I am sure it has done the same for the teens of ICC who have attended. I have seen first-hand all this conference can do for the teens who go.”

“It was very moving for me. I was glad to have this experience and I wish others will have this great experience. It was an amazing time and I hope I am able to do it again. Thank you”

“The weekend at Steubenville marks the beginning of a lifelong relationship with a Man, a Father, and a Ghost I had never dreamed I would know. I am already so much more joyful than I was before this weekend.”

"I have done many CCD camps and retreats throughout my young adult life but nothing compares to Steubenville East. I went into it expecting another same old retreat that my mom forced me to go to but it was truly anything but that. My experience at Steubenville East was profoundly life changing and restored my faith with God. During the weekend, we praised and worshiped the Lord while also having fun and joking around with each other. Don't say no to letting God be the center of your life and go to Steubenville East”

"It was a life changing weekend and everyone should have a chance to experience it”

"I thought that the experience was enlightening in a way that it strengthened my relationship to the church and God in a new and profound way. The combination of prayer, speeches, and music was a good way to help it all fit together."

Plugged-In Teens attend Steubenville East - July 15-17, 2016

Pictured are the 19 teens from Immaculate Conception who recently attended the Steubenville East Conference in Lowell, MA from July 15-17, 2016. Shown is the entire group including Father Ray, Deacon Chris, Plugged-In Youth Minister, chaperones and Jon Niven's band members who performed all weekend.

Evangelistic in nature, these weekend conferences are both a great “introduction” to the Gospel message for new or younger teens, while offering deep and moving experiences of prayer and fellowship for teens seeking a deeper relationship with Christ. This amazing weekend was filled with engaging liturgies, inspiring music, challenging talks and overwhelming joy.

A HUGE thank you to our own Knights of Columbus, the H3O Women’s Group and all of the generous parishioners who made it financially possible for these teens to experience a deep renewal and encounter with the love of Christ.
